Unveiling the Void

Title: Unveiling the Void

In shadows linger homes of still,
A veil of emptiness, a lingering chill.
Councils seek powers to halt the spread,
Of vacant homes, where life has fled.

Unoccupied second homes adorn the land,
A map unveils the hotspots, gaze and understand.
Holiday lets, a tale of bustling resorts,
Yet locals’ yearning, their needs come first.

Demand surges, streets devoid of life,
The heartache of communities, cut like a knife.
Councils demand powers, their plea sincere,
To breathe life back into homes once so dear.

Government, hear the echoes of distress,
Empower the councils, restore happiness.
For empty homes, a blight that must cease,
Revive our neighborhoods, bring back peace.
