<\/p>\n
The Lake<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
shimmers like the dream it represents<\/p>\n
distant lights of Coeur d\u2019Alene<\/p>\n
a beacon of trust – we\u2019re not in this alone.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Like many things<\/p>\n
it\u2019s not always what it seems.<\/p>\n
we bathe in calm waters<\/p>\n
fed by rivers from the hills.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mines made money for a few<\/p>\n
provided hard working jobs<\/p>\n
buried deep within the earth.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Trickle down waste<\/p>\n
washed to streams<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
flowed to pristine lake<\/p>\n
but is hidden from view<\/p>\n
way down on the bottom<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
like trickle-down economics<\/p>\n
as the gap widens between<\/p>\n
rich and poor<\/p>\n
healthy and sick<\/p>\n
haves and have-nots<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
invisible as a virus<\/p>\n
politicized until those at the top<\/p>\n
realize they can\u2019t imagine it away,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
that reality is more than what they think.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The rest of us dive down to the bottom<\/p>\n
and wonder why the water seems<\/p>\n
a lot murkier than you\u2019d expect.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
