Hellicane: Poets Respond to Hurricane Katrina

August 29, 2006 - one year to the day Hurricane Katrina visited the USA

Politicians are in New Orleans making the rounds A shattered city desperately trying to rebound

Louisiana and Mississippi seem to be doing well New Orleans still looks like a living hell

They say billions have been spent I wonder where all the money went

Watching all the replay coverage on the news Listening to all the talking heads spew their views

In the meantime a city is in ruin Does anyone in control know what they're doing?

The dignity of Human Beings was taken away As Katrina paid a visit one year ago today

All the people displaced and all the tears New Orleans, the once vibrant city

The corror contiues What a pity
