The Steel Mill is a poem that highlights the misery of old rust belt towns after their steel mill closes down, or lays off the majority of its employees.  The living conditions are  heartbreaking for some, even those who still work.  With nothing else to do,  and a depressing lifestyle,  many splurge their splendor on booze and drugs, making their lives even worse.All Rights Reserved
