The Demise Of Hotel UpsonA Poem by Sunflower/Sara Kendrick![]() Free verse![]() Thick cloudy sky filled with tears___woe Crying at the swiftly passing era No more old generation__new day The passage into a modern time
A time all its own with difference Whole set of problems separates it From times that have gone by but yet__same History tends to repeat itself
The demise of Hotel Upson brought thought A time of reflection to many To some joy that ugly eye sore__gone Others landmark history removed
Today in America there is A church or more on every street Evil, lawlessness, drugs on the beats Gangs, violence, road rage and much more
It seems times like when the Hotel raised Back in Nineteen-twenty-eight are gone A simple time when families, friends Was an important part of the plan
That hotel was built solid and strong Built to withstand the test of hard times Who would have thought its hey-day would end With a track-hoe beating its walls down
Its architecture was a simple Design Georgian Revivial Style of Red brick trimmed in limestone best in day Had a ballroom, elevators, air
No matter it is no longer there Gone forever to C&D landfill Not even sold for reuse the parts That made it the best in its day__gone
