Hellicane: Poets Respond to Hurricane Katrina

Winds a howlin' people dyin' rain drops a droppin' Make waves filling up the city and killing people

Lifting casino motels off the ground and throwin' them across town Killin' everyone in its path

Cars floatin' around with people still inside them Breakin' the walls that held in the sea

I watched the news and saw the tide of death and destruction left by Katrina The worst hurricane ever
