Reaching Into Actuality-Rita

Reaching InTo Actuallity-RITA
To Hurricane Katrina's Mama 
Hurricane RITA & Survivors

Yeah you blew winds hard and fierce,
crossing all our hearts,
you left without waving bye,
I guess you were just a wash.

You took away some actualities,
reaching for our souls,
what you had no idea about
You pushed us toward our goals.

You caused plain, old, and idle folks 
to rethink the things they clinched,
your winds changed attitudes on life
and now lifes' become a cinch.

See, many now whom you displaced,
your total destruction went amiss.
You actually cleaned out some closets
and reset things abit.

So as you go on to be renamed as 
a no rain drops-blowing wind; 
forget not last, the time you tried
you only provided relief from sin.
