I went with the word prompt about rebuilding. I used to live in Los Angeles, I stayed for the earthquakes, I stayed for the riots, I stayed for the fires then I left. Altadena, Chatsworth, and Malibu burned just before I left for New Mexico. I got laid off from my job with Xerox so I moved to New Mexico, about a month later the Northridge quake happened, which was my old territory. Xerox called me up and asked me if I would come back to work. No thanks. I was actually already working For Xerox in New Mexico. I don’t really miss Los Angeles much especially this week.
Rebuild
Burn the town down oh baby burn the town down
Burn the town down oh baby burn the town down
Rebuild, rebuild, burn it down and rebuild
I was in LA in 92 watching Altadena Burn
Sometimes we rebuild what we shouldn’t do
Seems like we’ll never learn
