Poem Title:
Poem
This is basically the update regarding the toxins and my dog. She was a happy girl, by my side 24 hours a day for 10 and half years We walked every day, inspiring many of my poems here She was smart and knew how to be cute, on command She loved her treats and her belly rubbed too, leading to the name, Bella Her sense of smell was so strong, she detected scent everywhere She liked to chase the chipmunks that scurried in the yard She was a small dog, only 20 pounds, but acted larger, braver! She had no fear of bear in the yard or large trucks on the street Then in February 2023, a train derailed in E Palestine Ohio It carried toxic chemicals on many train cars in the crash Our Government decided to deliberately BURN the chemicals This created a large plume of combined chemicals and dioxins, that traveled with weather systems over 500 miles! All the birds in my area fled, as I sat in eerie silence all around Then one day, I went out into the snow and was hit with toxic stench My dog Bella stuck her nose in the snow and vomited From there, we both got sick and ended up with some new health issues She couldn't go outside without gagging or reacting to them Tests of my soil proved numerous carcinogenic chemicals and dioxins My dog Bella, ended up with sudden heart issues that dioxins cause It is now May 6, 2024 and my dog died yesterday after a lot of suffering Her cough haunts my mind and her suffering, these people caused The Government killed my dog and I witnessed all of it happen My heart breaks, my mind spins and there are no other words for this atrocity!
