Eminent Domain

It is called eminent domain.
The power of government to
Seize private property of plain,
Ordinary citizens. True!
Reimbursement of value paid
To the owner, who has no voice
About the decision that's made.
Just take the money. That's the choice.
It doesn't matter more or less,
The government has the last say.
It's called for the public progress.
That's just the American way.

My home was domain eminent,
Now a mall in development.
