Screeching metal

Echoes all around,

Steaming river of smog,

Dancing in the night, it bounds.

Danger around the corner,

Full of ferocity,

With anger, it is screaming,

Ever so increasing velocity.

Man made wheels squelching,

Bright metal, never seen ‘fore it’s too late,

Silver pieces fly through the sky,

Souls leaving to their proper gate.

Officials are notified,

Families are in for heartache,

Words were told for comfort,

And for the heart’s sake.
