Pandemonium, Choas and Hope

PANDEMONIUM, CHOAS AND HOPE Katrina came in with fury Spreading devastation throughout No discrimination was used When she tossed their lives about As the flood waters rose People scrambled to the attic Crashing through the roofs with fear Knowing their mission was chaotic They raised their hands and signs Waving them in the sky Hoping the rescuers would see Their plight while passing by Bodies floating in the sludge That used to be their streets Waiting for their own rescue Where their souls can get some sleep Days and days they waited For food and water to arrive They huddled together to keep safe Thanking God they were alive Distant cries of pain and despair For miles you could hear People scrambling with conviction To keep their families near Planes touched down on tarmacs Filled with hope from far away Thousands unloading goods Not many knowing what to say A woman stepped into their hell A crew she brought along To aid our huddled masses With food, supplies and song She hugged and comforted the weak Bringing forth her enormous love Telling all who would listen That God was watching above
