Poem
Levees broke; Homes were broken, Stores broken into, Survival of the fittest, trying to live another day...what else could they do? Spirits broke, Hearts were broken, People broken in-two Memories demolished, Lives abolished, not to mention no food! Political figures on TV putting in there two cents on the news After days of waiting and despair, here comes Bush with his TV crews Here they are going through aguish, misery, gloom and depression On top of that they have to endure the pain caused by their presidents rejection Its a shame how they were bamboozled, and had no detection Maybe now they know that a con artist has won the elections Police couldn't even answer any questions, or give out suggestions We may be the richest country in the world, but we will never reach perfection The waters were troubled when it came to that of Ms. Katrina We were warned about her, but that didn't make us believers Yea hope was lost but lets build it up, to help the citizens of New Orleans It's our duty to fight, not just for what right, but for everything in between Fight for justice, fight for pain, fight for those who lives were lost These people should not be ignored; it's not up to them to pay the cost Crying, weeping, mourning, and pain No compassion felt from authority when the citizens complained, You would think somebody would have stepped up their game, But they only put the state of Louisiana to shame. Yea there were some that called the shots, but did they really remain? Everyone wants to take the credit, but no one wants to explain It's insane I tell you, a shame what these citizens had to face Treated like slaves, social discrimination, don't tell me racism wasn't a case Don't tell me that we had other business to tend to regarding the war, when the needs at home weren't met Don't tell me our Secretary would rather shop for shoes, when theres responsibility she needs to accept Dont tell me that citizens were looting when police were also suspects People...face-to-face with death, breaking painful sweat, not trying to be distressed, can't help but to be upset, because theres...aguish...misery...gloom and depression Enduring the pain caused by their presidents rejection Couldnt get any answers or suggestions to questions But they had detection that a fraud won the elections Again we may be the richest country in the world but we will never reach perfection
