Fish
New Orleans
Is it a fish-tank of disgust?
better left to hold water
than you and us
Should the walls stay down below the line
let bodies fester
rampant crime?
Cross on corral houses those who remain
trapped in their own shelter
left to die in vain?
Or will the walls be squeegeed clean
for all the world to love
obscene
trouble is rising from the ashes aint easy
especially for the big eazzyy
he who is helped
must plaster on a greazzzy
clown mask
