Description

Text taken from G.S Heron's "We almost lost Detroit"

It stands out on a highway like a Creature from another time.
It inspires the babies' questions "What's that?"
For their mothers as they ride.
But no one stopped to think about the babies or how they would survive,
and we almost lost Detroit this time.
How would we ever get over loosing our minds?
Just thirty miles from Detroit stands a giant power station.
It ticks each night as the city sleeps seconds from anniahlation.
But no one stopped to think about the people or how they would survive,
and we almost lost Detroit this time.
How would we ever get over over loosing our minds?
The sherrif of Monroe county had sure enough disasters on his mind,
and what would karen Silkwood say if she was still alive?
That when it comes to people's safety money wins out every time.
and we almost lost Detroit this time, this time.
How would we ever get over over loosing our minds?
You see, we almost lost Detroit that time.
Almost lost Detroit that time.
And how would we ever get over...
Cause odds are, we gonna loose somewhere, one time.
Odds are we gonna loose somewhere sometime.
And how would we ever get over loosing our minds?
And how would we ever get over loosing our minds?
Didn't they, didn't they decide?
Almost lost Detroit that time.
Damn near totally destroyed, one time.
Didn't all of the world know?
Say didn't you know?
Didn't all of the world know?
Say didn't you know?
We almost lost detroit...

amazing, it really fits the poem and the drawing is detailed, it reminds me of Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and the Sydney Tar Ponds.
