The Vengeful Eye of Our Katrina and the Hope That Never Dies
We braved the wave
Surfed her ferocious tides
Hold together in one hand
Help those in need
sitting stranded on roof-tops
Waiting to be rescued
For hope to come and restore
Our city to former glory
Every resident is ready,willing,and able
to share a unique chapter in this continuous story
Drowning?
NO!We do not know that despicable meaning
Everyone is shelter
Even though the buildings have temporarily lost private comfort
Love continues to grow
As the water-logged streets begin to silently recede
Passing through a Moment in Time
Recording the Bravery and the Sorrow of many
A ruthless -ITCH when she is angry and hungry
We all peered directly in her Eye
and repeated in unison..
SORRY TO DISAPPOINT,MY LADY
THIS CONGREGATION IS NOT YET PREPARED TO DIE!!
The World should not stop her revolving motion
For her Children will stand firm against an Angry Ocean
One path forever clear
It is a Fact that our Road will never disappear
Fate decrees
There is Paradise beyond the Yawning Seas
Criticism from the cynical few
Cannot stop the Giving within you
Grandparents will recall Katrina's point of view
and the victories that made us TOO
Dreams are borne from Humble Orphans
Kisses are wet but it came from The Good Woman's mouth
Celebrate Life
Her sincere meaning
One year later
Many Smiles,wide and gleaming
For WE ARE AWAKE
NO LONGER SIMPLY DREAMING!
