In a city once proud, where rivers flow,
A crisis unfolded, causing great woe.
Corroded pipes, a silent assailant,
Drinking water tainted, a perilous ailment.

Once clear as the sky, now laced with despair,
A city's cry echoed in the poisoned air.
Lead, a silent intruder, a threat to the young,
In the pipes it lingered, its harm tightly strung.

Officials faltered, the warnings delayed,
Residents affected, trust betrayed.
What's the name of this place, where water turned foe?
In the heart of Michigan, can you name it, though?

Flint, Michigan
