Lollipop Lane

Welcome friends to Lollipop Lane.
Where candy flowers ripen and gum drops reign.
have your fill, friends, for it won’t be free long,
for soon this bounty will fetch quite a song.

You see, there’s more people coming, and eating it up,
without a care for people who live on this supp.
The wealthy have hired and are clearing all out,
and the flowers turned oily and black from gout.

In Lollipop Lane, we had all that we’d need,
but lost our birthright to people and greed.
Now we have naught but the strength of our back,
to fight off hunger, nature’s slowest attack.

So heed my fair warning, it’ll soon be all gone,
everything you see that’s done right and done wrong.
In the long dark night when nobody cares,
A flash of cold eyes betray their hungry stares.
