Katrina

We were warned in advance, But
couldn't with stand the wind within

Katrina you came like a thief and the 
night with increasingly high winds

To claim the soul of many
You left lost within the land many to take a stand

Your powerful winds and strong rain
reach a 1000 miles in land leaving behind a destructive path

To bring about poor, hunger, misery, and pain
With millions at hand for repairs

Still nothing to compare to  the Experience within
You came with a plan, and left through out the land, your mark

Saying I was here see how I scored
Katrina a bad woman that said, you don't want no more of me.
