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 !
