As your poetry, says SO much! My pleasure, and yes, you blew me away...
Wow - a creative way to present a very sad state of affairs. So many families, affected by the economy. To lose a home in this way must be like losing a family member. Great job.

this hurts...it's like that now...and not looking like it will get better in future. on the sign did you mean "lived"

and "families"

do you want that to be either "family's story" or "families' story"

but you have presented the state of the economy in such a creative way...as well as the poem, with the signpost etc.
