the jaw of the mining pond



The jaw of the mining pond
It opens its mouth every day
The colours of green and dark orange
It depends on the season

Once there were people
In the morning gathered to watch
What was there in the mining pond?
It is just the jaw to swallow

When bad luck gets to the unlucky few
When the little demons playing their magic
Promising of new life and wealth
Whirring whisper enchanting images

They say of the virgin glow
Capturing the imagination
When bad luck rules the day
Everything seems so pretty

The jaw of the mining pond
The older folks claimed 24 lost lives
Through the decades it has gone
The latest 2 Indian men died
