Excellence Award in the 'Step Write Up 2011' competition

Sun shining,
A blinding light,
Men mining,
Oh what a fright.

Men whining,
It’s now night,
A torch shining,
I walk down in candle light.

I hear a sighing,
Rocks everywhere,
I hear a crying,
It’s over there.

I see them lying,
Hardly breathing,
Slowly dying,
Am I dreaming?
