This sorry landscape cannot begin to explain The story of what lies beneath the still earth A generation of utter loss, just tears no mirth Of a legacy back-filled with perpetual pain It is here that my grandfather hewed To provide for his family without objection Alongside his brothers, never posing a question Of these sorrowful words to which we now allude Dear old fate is such an unforgiving hand Always dealt without prejudice or favour Life extinguished, irrespective of behaviour Spreading untold grief across this pleasant land Treasures of the deep a sacrifice too far For those who perished without a fight Entombed in the abyss, such was their plight In succumbing to this silent yet deadly war. |

This was a great story. It is a shame how war, and want take their tole. Welcome to Passion. Words are weapons, toss them with care. |

Hi SUPERSAINT71 I just wanted to congratulate you on this poem. Am I correct in presuming that this is about the Gresford Mining Disaster? I am from the area (but my memory for dates is not great, sorry). Anyway, looking forward to reading more. PixieWales ![]() |
