What and Where We Came From On Our Jorney Home

Padlocked are the Gate's Stationary lie the Conveyor Belts The Wheel upon the Mining Head Gear Turns, No more The community has gone So to is the Coal And the Sunset Resigned to History No more mystery Pressing a Museum to Explain That what which our Elders did For a measly pittance To put food on his family's plate And to afford a Pint after a hard days graft With only a Helmet and Light To find his way Home Guardian Angel Willing

Everyone has a guardian angel in one form or another. One of the hardest jobs being a miner. Particularly those that go deep underground. That type of work requires courage and a steely backbone to generate the $$ for the men who sit in their pristine boardrooms with manicured nails, soft hands and rarified air in their glass towers.

hell, I don't know either. but your poems are rather entertaining....and some are very very good. I haven't been reading many poems on here lately. I just bang my catharsis up on the page and I am out.
