April Kersey-Strong Poet Verse

Pandemonium, Choas and Hope

PANDEMONIUM, CHOAS AND HOPE

Katrina came in with fury
Spreading devastation throughout 
No discrimination was used 
When she tossed their lives about

As the flood waters rose 
People scrambled to the attic
Crashing through the roofs with fear
Knowing their mission was chaotic

They raised their hands and signs
Waving them in the sky
Hoping the rescuers would see
Their plight while passing by

Bodies floating in the sludge
That used to be their streets
Waiting for their own rescue
Where their souls can get some sleep

Days and days they waited
For food and water to arrive
They huddled together to keep safe
Thanking God they were alive

Distant cries of pain and despair
For miles you could hear
People scrambling with conviction 
To keep their families near

Planes touched down on tarmacs 
Filled with hope from far away
Thousands unloading goods
Not many knowing what to say

A woman stepped into their hell
A crew she brought along
To aid our huddled masses
With food, supplies and song

She hugged and comforted the weak
Bringing forth her enormous love
Telling all who would listen 
That God was watching above
