The Vacant Lots of Darby
The vacant lots of Darby
Not a lot to see
Once they held our story
And our legacy
Some buildings lost to fire
And some were lost to greed
For some their time had simply come
Others had no need
Their presence just an eyesore
Their maintenance a chore
We simply called the backhoe in
And POOF, they are no more
The memories and promise
Of our shared history
Are remembered now on vacant lots
Not a lot to see.
