Oh Katrina... A storm which we feared You came to us and conquered Your fury was magnificent But your scorn left us deficient

Oh Katrina... You filled the bowl up Left us no grub to sup Devastated many lives, Husbands, children and wives

Oh Katrina... Took away our home On the streets the orphans roam You filled my streets with water Poor grew thin and rich fatter

Oh Katrina... Their land they had to leave But you taught us how to give You left us humans warned Results of nature scorned

Oh Katrina... Left Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama bereft In a retribution so swift Your violent fury made me see How much more powerful nature is than me

Oh Katrina... At 7, at a scale of 5, you hit land Filled my home with sea and sand I have no school and no home I am now living in a leaky dome

Oh Katrina... I know nature commands, u serve But this devastation did I deserve Our elders told us this was a test But was it survival of the fittest

Oh Katrina... You who our land sullies Leaving hoards of displaced families There is no water to drink, Though my town is filled with it to the brink

Oh Katrina... There is debris everywhere My life is a muddy layer My neighbor, at you she raves Her family in watery graves

Oh Katrina... Don't you worry for me For I will survive you latest spree I have help and now will rebuild For with kindness my people are filled

Oh Katrina... I don't want you or your siblings back For all left of my life is a sack You tried to shake our core But we are survivors...and you are not welcome here anymore
