Hurricane Katrina

Katrina is such a beautiful name Much too pretty for a hurricane When the storm crossed the shore Lives were changed for evermore Mothers praying, babies crying Many lost, many dying People were scattered across the states Some lost everything, even mates Nearly a year has come and gone And there's still so many without a home Nobody knows how it will end There's still so many hearts to mend

Excellent tribute to nature that can be violent and a government that was criminal. Lets hope '09 brings us all the respect and help for each other. Great write here Vernette and a well-deserved selection to be a feature of the week here at the Soup. Congratulations!
