the edge of light



The river of mud and debris
The stinking aroma leafing through
The people who use the river
They know what causes it

Massive developments
Without proper planning involved
The profits centered on a few
Controlling the large tracks of land

The river cries every day
With the load she carries along
The cuts and bruises along her coasts
Under her belly irritating her soul

For decades the people never learn
They close one eye and let it roll
Now when they find it is hard to breathe
They realize they have to make it right

The under currents will strike
The silent move in the minds
Slowly the edge of tomorrow
It will triumph in our eyes
