Katrina

What happend? Is the thought we have brewing When she hit the beach con strewing Things around this way and that Grounded the homes and made them flat. I lived in Pascagoula at one time Before this wretch had made her mind I lost few for I am single and broke but my companions cry, sniffle, and choke To think their families are there in pain while we are out to sea is hard to constrain Tempers flare and words are flames Cursing each other and calling names Once in port the fathers, husbands, fiances flee To find their lost and broken family Castles battered or taken by force waterlog and drowned the family horse Murder and rape have come after the destruction Satans weaving his path of corruption. Save the children is all I hope for They deserve no part in heaven and hells war Bodies lay strewn across the land She had no favor woman or man My last words hopefully burn your desire To help the victims of this tragedy inspire!
