Remnants of previous tenants
Drug paraphernalia including lighters and bongs
Battered furniture, old newspapers and night club flyers
Posters from yesteryear on walls
Cups, bottles, plates and take away packaging
The decades have not been kind here
As damp fills the air, with sweat and decaying food add to the heady stench

The old tenants prepare to depart
Our new residents have been watching and waiting to swoop in
There is a crossover period
As the old say farewell, the new say hello, to the squat
Prime real estate property in a bustling dystopian metropolis

The stage is set for us to see
What the new will bring to our mise en scene
Every story has to be told
This is only one story in the history of the squat

Soon to become a series of songs, poems, stage plays, short film or TV series or feature film
