Planters For The Weeds

The Trask house sits empty
on a hill in the Hudson Valley
Views of countless sunsets
had always stayed in the family

Listed for the land
and its proximity
to the train line to the city
Single Family

Life for another life creates need for another need
Isn`t someone out there counting all these planters for the weeds

An unkempt home is a planter
while time crawls in and envelopes her
Flowers thorns and branches
A handyman`s challenge

Chorus

On the other coast of the same country
they`re cutting down trees
Building for no buyer
Inhabited by the weather

The Hamilton Farm went easy
We thought the clumps of houses looked ugly
We cheered when they ran out of funding
but the good land lay there dying

Chorus

Life for another life creates need for another need
Can`t grow food for my children in a planter for the weeds

Life for another life creates need for another need
Can`t house any of my children in a planter for the weeds
