Hellicane: Poets Respond to Hurricane Katrina

A sea of heartbroken faces Grief and sorrow filled the watery streets People's worried voices and cries filled the town Muddled cries of babies could be heard through the frightened voices People roamed the streets defenseless and low Some were grateful to have found their family and friends A lot lost everything they ever had Hopeless and sleepy, Katrina's victims searched for families And abandoned their old lives and everything they ever knew Some wished that it was just a nightmare And will wake up and they will still have their loved ones right beside them Lives ruined, hope for starting a new life swam through their hearts
