"One of my brothers had lived his entire life, and never got any further than he did then when he first started out as a teenager in the mines...he lived his whole life [in the mines] and he died without enough to even bury himself..we had to go to the welfare to get enough to bury him... it just seemed that in a country like this that people shouldn't have to live and be buried as poor as when they came into the world. That was the first that I begin questioning the way the economy is in this world and the way that poor people are treated.""His soul full of coal dust till his body's decayed.
And everyone but black lung's done turned him away."
Seems pretty clear: Dirty coal, criminal coal, criminal system.
