Aftermath Of Katrina

Collection

Hellicane: Poets Respond to Hurricane Katrina

When Mother Nature wreaks havoc Nothing we can do Feeling so helpless and useless My heart just breaks in two

Destruction is horrendous Homes washed or blown away Death count is climbing Each and every day!

Things we take for granted In our daily routine Such as bathing in water Keeping our bodies clean

Thousands of people are homeless Lost everything they owned Homes and personal belongings They'll have to be rezoned

My heartfelt thoughts and prayers Go out to the families They lost many loved ones In the Gulf Coast boundaries
