the mining pond of death

 

The mining pond of death

Through the decades I heard

Many died by suicide or accidents

Still many will tend to forget


Though town council put up notice

No fishing allowed in this pond”

Yet there are people still putting lines

Standing at the edge of the mining pond


The weather maybe fine to the eyes

In the morning rays and late evening sun

What ghosts live in the mining pond?

The screaming ones wanting to be free


It is also a collecting point

For waste water and rainfall

Though it looks calm in the day

Under the mining pond the ghosts stay


The mining pond of death

Pass by everyday for the people

Nobody pays much attention to it

They will think it is an accident what's the fuss?
