Hurricane Katrina
William brooks 1959 (Salem)
Came hurling through New Orleans and what a storm. Taking the lives of adults children and newborns. Flood of the century taking plenty of lives. Mothers Fathers Sisters and Wives. Plenty of families that's separated apart. Finding one another where do they start. Death is in the air all over the place. Running them down in a deadly chase. No food no water to help quench their thirst. Bodies in the street that swell up and burst. Many feet of water that's possibly diseased. There is no escape no type of ease. Katrina is the name of a storm so bad. All of those lives so very very sad. We pray for you all and give you our blessings. For those who stayed what a terrible lesson.
