Heart Beat of the American Volunteers/ Katrina Victims

Poetry is much like a Great Photo,Capturing feelings and emotions of a single moment in 
time;then preserving it for future history books.Next generation learns.
Hurricane Katrina gives a lesson.For the next generation of Americans.
"TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS, A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE."
Yet they live on as pictures in our minds of a moment of time,emotions unforgotten.
An act of Natures Forces cause great change in strangers lives. They become strangers 
in a moment of time : next a single heartbeat of" family united to help each other's 
survival." at no other time in history of the United States have American's seen such 
devastation of humanity. Not from an act of terrorism,but the forces of Nature!
Water is needed for life to continue,but must be clean processed water.
Water that is contaminated is able to destroy the young and the old with bacteria.
Water and time can be stronger than a rock or levies that hold water back.
To see the devastation of New Orleans and the genocide of people being moved to other 
states even lose of family members and family pets. This picture does not go away.
Here a year later  the homes are not all rebuilt,the families not all united due to death 
caused by the rising waters.
This Great Nation can survive! And Heal! One day at a time. One person at a time.
When the forces of nature act against the community. The American Volunteer in each of 
us, Steps Up to help others. while as human beings one day we would not stop to give 
this person the time of the day and the next day of disaster,American Volunteers start 
showing up to do the best they can. Faster than the Government is able to assess the 
needs of the communities. Truthfully Americans have proved again and again, when 
everything around us is at its worse,we step up and do our best.
GOD BLESS AMERICANS!
