Mother Nature

I look on the news today
Seeing picture thousands of miles away
I cant find the words to pray

Katrina such a pretty name 
Katrina what an awful shame
You blew away my hame

As the wind picks up in the southern sky's
As the rivers burst the flood walls so high
I ask myself why

Why do we build on flood plains
Just like Babel challenging Gods name
People will always be the same

So Katrina is a warning from above
Just like El Nino and the rising tides
Remeber its Gods will if you live or die
