What a shame
how can you
fix this now
It will take time, a lot of money, and a lot of hard work. But it will be fixed.
The price we pay for letting big oil become more important and our overuse of chemicals we don't really need in all of our products to make them cheaper and less durable, while letting our infrastructure like railroads deteriorate to the point where derailing like this occurs often at great cost both in the current situation and the shutdown of a busy lifeline of goods traveling coast-to-coast.
Thanks for putting the plight of this small town in a poignant poem reaching out to all that read that this town and the surrounding area will be in a fight for a long time to return to a natural and beautiful place to live in the Ohio countryside.
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
