And when I see the sign that points one way <br />The lot we used to pass by every day <br /> <br />Just walk away Renee <br />You won't see me follow you back home <br />The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same <br />You're not to blame (The Four Tops) <br /> <br />Renee, you and so many other homeowners are upside on their mortgages loans, <br />You can’t refinance because your house is worth less than you paid for it, <br />It fills you with a fear that no one condones, <br />So instead being a criminal committing arson like some people did in Detroit, <br />The sign that point one way, It’s only way, <br />That you have to get your life together, <br />Forget about the lot and house, just do what I have done, <br />Just walk away Renee, <br />hopefully get an affordable home by yourself or with someone, <br />I won’t follow back home because you lost your home, <br />The empty sidewalks are still the same, <br />Foreclosures, House for Sale signs, <br />Sub-prime Loans and speculators on the (un) Real Estate Markets are to blame. <br />(see observation Let the Domino Chips Cascade Down into the Abyss) <br /> <br />(2-3-2008)<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/just-walk-away-renee/
