A Minneapolis Abridgement To Vehicular Disaster. Poem by Michael Gale

Minneapolis Minnesota,
Being abridgement to life and limb...
Warnings of faulty stability were ignored by man's own monetary whim.

Cars with people, surprised inside.
Death and injury occured as that bridge collapsed.

That concrete span was well over due for an overhaul...
Especially aft the collapse and fall.

Just why was this bridge's maintenance filed away on hold? ...
Whom was at fault?
Why was public safety unsought, not sold?

Blame on men will be aimed like a bent bow's arrow...
Guilt and sorrow will fall on loving relative's deafened sobbing ears
to only fly away unattended as like a fast fleeing sparrow.

The lesson now learned that ill fated dangered day of when...
Tears now to be shed, and then.

Loss of life will bring sorrowed feelings all but because of
man's undealings...
Will erase strong happy, family memories and feelings.
