"Just One Spark" was written in July 2001 by
Benny Graham commemorating and dedicated to all those who died in the 1835 Wallsend mine explosion as well as those who died similarly in the Ukraine in 2001.
It reflects bitterly that
Life comes cheap in the face of greed and that
Life or death the die is cast by just one spark.
