Cara's thank you

In this seaside town named Lake Worth--for now
the developers arrived with plans and a plow

A cry rang out....gentrification has come!
we must take action or our city is done

Together we crafted an epic work plan
with all the tools in the box, we would hold back "the man"

With petitions and protests, the momentum did gain
now it was time for an election campaign

They said, "It's a fluke, a radical can't win"
and swore to their cronies, "It won't happen again!"

Donations came in from nearby and far flung
wishing us strength for the work to be done

With cash in the bank and feet on the street,
the power of people could not be beat

We took the city by storm, a hurricane of change
and despite their foul play, we did it again......

I thank you, friends, it has been quite a ride
with your love and support, we turned the tide.
