How would you describe the tone of this poem?

down the dead streets of sun-stoned frederiksted,
the first free port to die for tourism,
strolling at funeral pace, i am reminded
of life not lost to the american dream;
5 but my small-islander’s simplicities
can’t better our new empire’s civilized
exchange of cameras, watches, perfumes, brandies
for the good life, so cheaply underpriced
that only the crime rate is on the rise
10 in streets blighted with sun, stone arches
and plazas blown dry by the hysteria
of rumor. a condominium drowns
in vacancy; its bargains are dusted,
but only a jeweled housefly drones
15 over the bargains. the roulettes spin
rustily to the wind—the vigorous trade
that every morning would begin afresh
by revving up green water round the pierhead
heading for where the banks of silver thresh.
