A City Once Without Hope

I would have never thought I had a chance after wanting to stay behind The devastation swept up my city I constantly cried at the vision I had seen People were dying everywhere and what a shock it was Seeing majority of my city floating under water seemed as if it was only a dream However reality made everything so true Young and old, sadness filled the hearts of many After being led away from our home of plenty Displaced and referred to as a stranger to some Desperately wanting to go back to what we once called home Only to be told that it was temporarily gone I survived to tell all How hurricane Katrina went down in making history As one of the deadliest hurricanes that fiercely attacked, leaving many dead in her path Even after many years her memory still lingers on A city once without hope continues to surprise A strong people we are destined to survive
