Poem by Eva J. Hewitt (Swan Pond Resident)

I lost a lot due to the ash slide.
My grief and hurt I cannot hide
I’m having to move, due to TVA
Now I’m hearing say
The light bill will cost more
They don’t care about the people of how it’s
Making us poor

Their mistake it was you see
The clean up there should be

The people all agree
That to make us pay for their mistake
It isn’t right, you see
A lot of homes, land, and animals were lost
Now they want to lay on us the cost

People can’t pay higher bills
For TVA’s mistake and the ash spill

The cost of cleanup should be
TVA’s, not the people you see

We have suffered enough over the spill
Some has moved, some are ill
