Louisiana On My Brain

Louisiana on my brain As I’m arriving in my city of Hammond / Ponchatoula All I see is a delightful town . I see the beautiful peaceful swamps. I see the beautiful bridge that scares me. They call Louisiana the poorest state. But I say it’s a special state. The home of the strawberry festival in Ponchatoula The home of LSU The home of the Lions/Lady lions in Hammond The home of the Brown Pelican And the home of Mardi Gra. Louisiana isn’t a ghetto story that we talk about . It’s a place to be peaceful and have good times together. The swamp tells us that we should have hope and faith in us and everyone we love and respect. Louisiana is an ambitious state that holds on our generation to generations and to generations. I’m glad that Louisiana has given me talent. It ain’t about the grass being greener it’s about knowing what to do and how to make the grass getting greener to grow and rises. Louisiana is my roots Louisiana is my blood Louisiana is my growth. Louisiana is my love. Louisiana is my heart to my kin. And Louisiana is my spirituality when I demise and go up to Heaven to join my dearly beloved Uncle Clarence of Savior.
