Hurricane Katrina

The levees broke and the seas rolled in,
Killing brothers, sisters, and next of kin,
Police killed the innocent but denied the sin,            
Now new season lies round the bend,
God help New Orleans if it happens again!
=====================================

Contest:  Golden Gratitude
Very blessed that the Lord spare many  
from police brutality and the terrors of 
nature.
