Aberfan

The Aberfan disaster was the catastrophic collapse of a National Coal Board (NCB) colliery spoil tip in the Welsh village of Aberfan, near Merthyr Tydfil on 21 October 1966. The tip slid down the mountain above the village at 9.15 am, killing 116 children and 28 adults as it engulfed the local junior school and other buildings in the town. The collapse was caused by the build-up of water in the accumulated rock and shale tip, which suddenly slid downhill in the form of slurry.

what man has done!
in greed to rob the Earth
and exhange  black gold
for credited wealth
 wrenched back by
the devils hand
Sweet Jesus we cried
a whole village's babes
buried in the stealth
of a demon ..
look to your conscience
those who killed
the  valley
