BLACK HEAT

Factories puffing, smoking steam like mighty dragons of steel Men sweat and toil day and night within these burning mills. Blackened walls conceal their labors from those who would view from without The only inkling of work comes from the machineries angry shouts. The ominous sight of blast furnace flames resembles the devils torch The men work within such heat that their clothing soon is scorched. Building upon building, acre upon acre the mills seem to go on for eternity The pouring of steel without a spill takes men of great ability. These are a few of our country's workers that make us mighty and strong And with men like these I cannot see how we can ever go wrong. With much debt we owe them respect for without them we would be lost The miners the truckers the men that forge the steel from the bottom to the boss
