Foreclosures...

Home is where the heart is
     but not all houses are a home;
just memories and tears are left
     when the bank forecloses on a loan
Where's the compassion and understanding,
     do they think we can just up and leave?
These families the banks are commanding
     scattered to the wind like dry leaves
An army of displaced Americans
     caught in the speculation hurricane
as buyers buy hoping to make a killing
     in the years to come
leaving the fields fallow until then
     helping no one but their bottom line
 This has happened not once but many times
     and it is the families that struggle
that must try to climb out of the economic hole
     What control is there, what compassion
do the banks only see numbers and not families,
     that is what i'm asking...
