Doomed River

Doomed is the river Twenty years ago, the river ran 2 meters deep had trout we caught with a net and fried over a small fire with delicious fresh food. Every year I have seen the river getting smaller even in the winter rain. Years ago, three children were caught by a wall of water, their father was arrested, they said he had fed the children to his pigs but not a single button was found in the pigs, enclosure The broken father was set free, and every summer I see walking along the river’s banks hope to find his children’s bones, there is none.
