Katrina
Levees broke; Homes were broken, Stores broken into,
Survival of the fittest, trying to live another day...what else could they do?
Spirits broke, Hearts were broken, People broken in-two
Memories demolished, Lives abolished, not to mention no food!
Political figures on TV putting in there two cents on the news
After days of waiting and despair, here comes Bush with his TV crews
Here they are going through aguish, misery, gloom and depression
On top of that they have to endure the pain caused by their presidents rejection
Its a shame how they were bamboozled, and had no detection
Maybe now they know that a con artist has won the elections
Police couldn't even answer any questions, or give out suggestions
We may be the richest country in the world, but we will never reach perfection
The waters were troubled when it came to that of Ms. Katrina
We were warned about her, but that didn't make us believers
Yea hope was lost but lets build it up, to help the citizens of New Orleans
It's our duty to fight, not just for what right, but for everything in between
Fight for justice, fight for pain, fight for those who lives were lost
These people should not be ignored; it's not up to them to pay the cost
Crying, weeping, mourning, and pain
No compassion felt from authority when the citizens complained,
You would think somebody would have stepped up their game,
But they only put the state of Louisiana to shame.
Yea there were some that called the shots, but did they really remain?
Everyone wants to take the credit, but no one wants to explain
It's insane I tell you, a shame what these citizens had to face
Treated like slaves, social discrimination, don't tell me racism wasn't a case
Don't tell me that we had other business to tend to regarding the war, when the
needs at home weren't met
Don't tell me our Secretary would rather shop for shoes, when theres
responsibility she needs to accept
Dont tell me that citizens were looting when police were also suspects
People...face-to-face with death, breaking painful sweat, not trying to be
distressed, can't help but to be upset, because theres...aguish...misery...gloom
and depression
Enduring the pain caused by their presidents rejection
Couldnt get any answers or suggestions to questions
But they had detection that a fraud won the elections
Again we may be the richest country in the world but we will never reach
perfection
