People should not suffer, any more, after natural disasters, due to the the ineptitude of the government, before the disaster.
Rebuilding
By Franklin Price

Rebuilding all, is what we do
We did it after World War Two
Rebuilt Japan and Germany
And they had been our enemy
All their basics mostly done
Brought them back, it wasn't fun
It cost a lot of cash to do
To bring them back, their lives renew.
Now we find ourselves today
Hurricanes have come our way
Our islands now, we must restore
Nature did it, not a war.
Situation dire, and yet we fret
What about their present debt?
It's about the peeps, not politics
We're acting like a bunch of pricks
Puerto Rico, ruined, there you see
They are our own, not enemy
Must bring them back, again as new
That's the least that we should do
It's the people, not the government
The hurricane has come and went
If they had elected you,
There's nothing that you wouldn't do
If the media is telling lies
About withdrawing, I despise
all them, and their hate for you
You can't do that, if it is true
We must rebuild our island lands
Slammed by the eye and outer bands
Now's not the time to think of debt
Congress could pay, with graft, I'll bet
