INCINERATOR AT CWMGWILI........NOT FOR ME

    INCINERATOR AT CWMGWILI .....NOT FOR ME   TIM WILLIAMS NOV.2014

62179 SAY NO, I HAVE CANCER, BUT I DONT WANT IT NO MORE,
62179 SAY NO, DONT WANT ANOTHER CAUSE NEAR MY HOME,
SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES, CANCER AND BIRTH DEFECTS,
PART OF THE CARMARTHEN A48 INCINERATOR PLAN,
CLEAN POWER THE POSTER SAID,
PUMPS SHIT INTO YOUR CLEAN AIR MORE LIKE,
I'VE SEEN COAL MINES WITH A CLEANER BILL OF HEALTH,
READ THIS, READ THIS, DONT POISON YOUR MUM , YOUR SIS.

MALFUNCTIONS, LEAKS, EXPLOSIONS AND SHUTDOWNS SOUND FAMILIAR ?,
MAGGIES ROLLING IN HER GRAVE,
THE LAST TIME I HEARD THESE WORDS APPLIED TO INDUSTRY,
IT WAS OUR LOCAL COAL MINES , THATCHER INCINERATED ALL OF THEM,
BUT THESE EMPLOYED HUNDREDS OF LOCAL MEN ON A TIDY WEDGE,
THIS INCINERATOR EMPLOYS LITTLE BUT DESTROYS OUR HEALTH,
IT WILL SPILL CONTAMINATES INTO LOCAL PRODUCE CHAIN,
THERE ARE TOO MANY FARMS ARE IN IT'S RANGE,

TWENTY FOUR SEVEN A HUNDRED LORRIES A DAY,
WILL OOZE OUT ONTO A KILLER ROAD THEY SAY,
I WANT TO SEE MY DAUGHTER GROW AND GROW,
CARMARTHEN A48 INCINERATOR SAY NO ! , SAY NO !,
I WILL BEAT MY CANCER ,THIS I, MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY KNOW,
I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO BUILD A FACTORY,
WHICH COULD BRING IT BACK , THIS DISEASE TO ME.

Thank you Tim Williams for posting in reality, this is a fabulous heartbreaking piece, i grew up spending many days on my uncles farm, across the road they had the power station, the young girl who lived on the property sadly died of cancer, the old line is still in use, i really wish other cleaner and safer power sources were produced in its place, she was a funny young girl taking in the saddest way, thank you for posting in reality today xoxo love and appreciation Nardine xx

Thank you Nardine again for your lovely warm comment on this piece of work,it is a story that is happening in my life as we speak, i am unwilling to allow a company to build one of these disgusting factories within 3 miles of my home town. I am beating the lung cancer that i had after a recent operaration, with just some follow up chemo to go and a 7 year old daughter to watch grow up am determind this factory will not be built . love to you and yours , the pen is mightier than the sword. xx
