 Poems About My Life "Along" the River

His shoe makes me cry


I don't know how it happened, but it went into the lake
He had to get it back for little money his family makes

But the dam cares not of money
when its banks are full

Only of letting the water out
regardless of a 9 year old's terrible shouts

Its so terrible that he was pulled 15 feet under
With his brother and cousins watching -- their screams like thunder

God this is so sad and terrible
One of those things that is almost unbearable

Why did this happen?
Why do we make things so dangerous?

I don't know! Do you? Please tell me why.
All that I know is his shoe makes me cry.
