broken earth
“What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and dragged her down”
-- Jim Morrison

"Overlooked"
This was done for a weekly word/phrase challenge on Twitter, “old town”; just my somewhat dour interpretation of the phrase.
What I was intending to portray was the feeling of being left out, cast aside, alienated. Sometimes it happens by way of economic class and bigotry (ex. “gated communities” intent upon exclusion of the other, “out of sight, out of mind” — indicated by the trash heap, concealed behind the wall); or perhaps by technology or “progress”, as when an industry finds itself outdated, leaving behind abandoned factories and those who once made a living from it.
In many cases, “old towns” can be emblematic to me of those society has forgotten, or intentionally don’t wish to see.
There are greener pastures, the future may be bright — but typically for the privileged, the select few.
