Outside the City

They are huge and sprawling

Living in a town called suburbia

The Jones’ have moved in

And things are going up

up

Up

UP

The expanse is grand

On the largest cookie cutter scale

Bricks, statues, and perfectly laid sod

Pools sunk deep for the effect

Streets named for

Famous French buildings

Mailboxes line up in perfect succession

All of them white and locked

Oh the gated community

America’s horrible reality

There's a suburb near us (not TOO near) that has a city ordinance that tells residents how long they can leave their garage doors open- I mean C'MON people!!! Pull the silver spoon out of your arse! Loosen up!
I guess if you don't want to obey the ordinance you don't have to live there....
Ahhhh, free country.
