Joplin 2011

Devastation that's just multiplied by four Lives lost, families strung and torn Nothing remains the same as it was before Businesses and homes crushed like fragile dreams Lives lost, each one taken so quickly This isn't real, isn't that what it always seems? And yet I know I couldn't have prevented such a thing Another NATURAL disaster And for these volunteers, water and food is all I can bring But I know this wasn't my fault, and that life is not a silly Game I awaken every day to this reoccurring thought "Will Joplin ever become the same?"
