I told them that the bridge would collapse soon.
Seventeen people died on that horrible day in June.
Those people would still be alive if I'd been taken seriously before.
They laughed when I told them the bridge wasn't safe but they're not laughing anymore.
When the bridge collapsed, the cars fell in the lake.
Now they wish they had listened when I said that lives were at stake

I just now read this poem you wrote in 2007. people have been warned many times by many different voices. Still it seems they don't take note until something horrible happens. God gives us all warnings whether we follow Him or not. Keep up your gift. Hopefulpengram.

To make it better you need to make your meter match with your rhyme
