To Live Within Destruction
To live within destruction is a nightmare in action
A living maze with no way out
A darken cave with hopes of light
For many a desperate prayer for help
To be lost within your soul with helpless intention
With millions to come to the aid of many
To be carried away lifelessly
To survive on very little supplies
Managing life's daily task without the basic needs
No lights to brighten the nights dark
No water to wash away the mud
No gas to fuel the common vehicle
With contaminated air to breath
No food to feed the soul
Without means of communication with the out side world
Still to live within destruction is living within the world
To see my babies sweat continuously
To hear their cries of misery and pain
To live without a way to bath, and clean your house
to live in shame of your destroyed or helpless deed
To be misguided by the government assistance
To received no help at all from FEMA
what they don't want you to know is, how many
sustained damage to houses, cars,furniture,and
others person items, But still was told THIS IS NOT A DISASTER !
