THE RIVERS OVER TIME (inspirde by Jamsbo Rockda work)(work in progres)

The rivers of time flows on and on
Many end up underground
Flows on all the same
City's such as London Town
Grown up - over rivers
Names long forgot
Years ago fathers with sons once fished
Side by side
Wife's and mothers - fished for the evening family meal
Rivers unseen - for years - once-upon a long - long time ago
These rivers flowed on-bye - past cottages
Now tower blokes stand on where the rivers once flowed
Flowed - over history - story's untold

Margate old town - low lying - town built over a river - name forgot
The river it self did not forget - that at one time freely flowed
Then come 1953 - came the Great North Sea Floods
The river came back - in full flood - the river remembered it had
Purpose - that - purpose was to flow
Though we may forget The Rivers - the rivers - like ghost's
There - spirits - come back - to remind US - they have not
Gone!

I like this, Ken. Your rivers nurture, but they also have feelings and great power. When they're wounded, sometimes, they strike back.
