How Could This Be

how could this be what a tragedy to happen to this great country
how could this be how could this happen to you and me 
how could this happen for all to see  

how could all we have is now in the pass
how could all the things we see are now just a memory
how could we stand with nothing left in our hands 

how could we leave the things we love 
how could we live from day to day 
how could we face what lies ahead

we all know that we are strong 
we all know that we must go on
we all know that we are one 

we all know that in time we 
can rebuild New Orleans 

I dedicate this poem to all the
victims in New Orleans let's pray
that they can get pass this and
survive let's pray that they can
rebuild New Orleans to be bigger 
and better than it was before.
