the empty house


The empty house by the road
Once it was complete with all fittings
A shining house with new coat of paint
In the years followed it is left neglected

Slowly the fittings all gone
Leaving the skeleton shell
It is a sad facade now
The paint too faded

Maybe nobody buys the house
The developer can't find buyers
There is no notice for sale
It has been for years

The creeper plants make home
The concrete fence broken
It has become a ghost house
Leaving it to the elements

It is a sad picture
Of a house nobody stays
We hear of homeless people
Yet there are empty houses every where
