As I happened upon the scene
And wondered what transpired
The artist in me took over
My imagination fired
I walked as close as I could
Camera in my hand
The yellow tape stopped my steps
I surveyed this abandoned land
A sign out out front said f*ck and damn
I could see how they were pissed
All their dreams, their hopes for life
In an instant, missed
Back to my car, I made my way
Around to the other side
No life, no joy, no one there
In this fire, it all died
A resort? A hotel? It seemed to be
A place of fun and rest
Now it's ruined
Dead to the world
It failed the owner's quest
I feel sorry for places such as this
I see the dreams that die
A simple flame gone out of control
I bid the wreck goodbye.....
