Mountain
Boys
By
R.e. Taylor
Mountain
boys
Locked
in a prison
One
that once ruled their fathers
Grandfathers
and everyone they knew
Never
seeing the sun
They
survive deep underground
Breathing
poison gasses
And
dust which kills them
But
they know that is their life
When
the day is done
Most
return home to their families
Too
tired to be with friends
Other
become buried
Surrounded
by tons of rock
They
gasp for needed air
While
their bosses worry about their money
Such
is the life for mountain boys
Spending
their lives in a dark coal mine
Never
knowing if they will survive
To
work another day
In
their own dark, cold hell
