Hellicane: Poets Respond to Hurricane Katrina

Lives were destroyed Houses were demolished Will there ever be hope? Will New Orleans ever be again?

Children were terrified Many people are upset People, children, and pets are homeless Will this crisis come to an end?

Deceased people laying everywhere In the debris from Hurricane Katrina Shocking news that no one can believe Why has this happened to these people?

People acting foolishly But rescuing people as well But is this gonna help, Or are more going to die?

People were cold-cocked by Katrina Left moneyless, homeless, and hopeless The people are depressed and very emotional Thinking, Why did this happen to me?
