Day one; Katrina arrives and all the rich leave
till the only ones left are the poor and naive.
And sea and air meet in a mass of screaming death
as some of the sick and injured breathe their last breath.
Day two; levees fail and water floods the city
hospital shelters are abandoned to pity.
And those scooped from rooftops are featured on the news
while others wait for rescue and the clean up crews.
Day three; as looting and gang violence disrupt
strangers huddle in the dark when gun shots erupt.
And cops barricade themselves and won’t come out
although suffering and crime fester all about.
Day four; fire and corpses add shame to the scene
while survivors get angry at clichés that demean.
For how long must they suffer how many must die
are we deaf to their pleas do we not hear their cry?
Day five; President Bush tries to deflect the blame
sending food with the army help finally came.
And the people of New Orleans rose to cheer
finally freed from five days of hunger and fear.
Two towers stood alone while a day emerge into history as memorable events
gaze among the future
Burning fires grew, grew as the towers blazed with yellow sparks as many of
those died
Planes flew all directions but that terrifying tragedy blew away people's minds
into great disaster
The many faces of President Bush gazed into tragic war that had started it all
But the end might be here but it just terrified all to stay here to the bitterly end
I had lunch with Roger today
He buried his son a couple of months ago
Our kids used to play growing up
He now has an emptiness I can't know
He spoke to his son
It was a Thursday, from Iraq
Alex died two days later
A makeshift bomb put his vehicle under attack
Five other men
Lost their lives that day
Just in one vehicle
While searching for others M.I.A.
A brave soul
At nineteen years age
The hollowness in his dads eyes
Are just hiding his hearts rage
President Bush is in Reno
And upon a special invite
To honor the fallen heroes
But Roger's name was not in sight
Alex gave the ultimate
His life and 100%
The President went on his way
Maybe it's because of his Mexican descent.
At least that's what Roger said. Sad huh?
We a foundation like President Regan said, People there
is nothing I as President can do about that, I wish I could
but I can't, because I say we have a foundation, He President
Washington said, as I stand by the cherry tree, I can't lie
to you, there will not be any crowns here, because no one
man will have that power in America, President Bush said, I
have people that make that choice, he's right, President
Kennedy said, It not what my country can do me but what
I can do for my country, He is right its what we can do at
time of trouble, our country will take care of us when things
is ok, for me and my house its what I can do for America,
and I choice to wordship my creator, Its will with our souls

Confusion reigns in him, even before the press conference.
Yet when there's a chance to make a bad choice, none's more decisive.
Acting only when he must, he throws the chips, lets them fall.
Call off our Troops,
they don't have a
clue on the real
scoop; because
the President has
them jumping thru
invisible loops.
Call off our men in
green, death is the
only thing they've
seen; and only to be
used as the President's
personal killing Machine.
Call off this W.A.R, we've
been misled and we're
not sure what it's for any
more; but from the way
things are looking I would
say," That President Bush
Just Wanted To Settle A
Personal Score."
This is said before it was written. Why me being black makes me different. Why does it
take tragedy to make people listen. Why is it, the suspect is black when people turn up
missing. Why does racism still exsist. Why do they say uou need fours year of college
just to be rich. Why did President Bush spend $4 billion in Iraq. Why didnt he spend
as much in New Orleans, is it because most of the population is black. Why do we stand
for the pledge of alligence, when the constitution doesnt recognize most of our people.
Why?
