Hellicane: Poets Respond to Hurricane Katrina

Realizing your home and belongings\r\nWere destroyed before your eyes\r\nEnduring unwarranted hardships\r\nWhile establishing community ties\r\n\r\nSupporting one another\r\nStrangers continue to lend a helping hand\r\nInspired by the internal strength\r\nRebuilding your precious land\r\n\r\nLiving for the moment\r\nAnd appreciating the strong family connection\r\nIndividuals take comfort in numbers\r\nFeeling warmth and protection\r\n\r\nEach day time heals the wounded\r\nAnd hope satiates our souls\r\nNeeding support, dedication, and desire\r\nTo reach our new goals\r\n\r\nChallenges continue to arise\r\nBut will not conquer the passion to survive\r\nYouth and elders acknowledge the greatest gift\r\n...of being alive\r\n\r\n\r\n
