Hellicane: Poets Respond to Hurricane Katrina

I can\'t remember the last few days\r\nbut somethin\' gone wrong\r\nVandals come - X my home\r\nChildren gone\r\n\r\nClouds cover the sun\r\nAnd water everywhere\r\nNoah must a left\r\nCrawford\'s Prince doesn\'t care\r\n\r\nHands are getting sore\r\nSkin is falling down\r\nWaters left us behind\r\nKids still not around\r\n\r\nThe cross on our house\r\nthree down below\r\nAnd 9/9 above\r\nMy husband left long ago\r\n\r\nJust me, Denae and Taylor\r\nBut can\'t find \'em now\r\nThe X that won\'t come off\r\nThings God just won\'t allow\r\n\r\nSomen\' happening\r\nDozers moving in\r\nSplinters to the earth\r\nNature doesn\'t sin\r\n\r\nI followed it here\r\nA dump I think\r\nStretches quite a way\r\nLost into the brink\r\n\r\nLearned something new\r\nFound out I can\'t die\r\nTick-a-tock, Tick-a-tock\r\nOrleans to lie\r\n\r\n
