Congressional Rap on Eminent Domain

EMINENT DOMAIN PAIN

Fight the painDefeat the strain
Rally all together
Destroy eminent domain.

Monster on the street
Grabs any home to eat,
Greedy rape the snakes

Meet them in the courts
Families matter more than sports;
Meet them with our maps
Expose their power traps.


Brave neighbors to the front,
Block the vicious Ratner stunt,
Clean air he robs
For invisible jobs;


Yield not to dirty dollar temptation,
Stand strong as a great generation,
Be priceless diamonds for our nation.

Fight eminent domain
Unjust strain
A civic stain
Eminent domain isDemocracy slain

!RAP poem in honor of the courageous citizens
fighting for their homes and neighborhoods.
