Katrina The warning was given 20 hours before she struck NoOne knew the levee would break Except he knew, The Schmuck There were burn marks to prove it was no mistake A canister was placed at the levee low down To explode at the right time So as to remove those in the town The poor, those he thought to be slime These people couldn't get out of the way Of the storm that was crashing the land They were to be Katrina's prey That's how it all was planned They engineered Katrina to be at full force When she came upon the land And they steered her course To go just where they had planned Oh, yes people, the technology is there To manipulate the weather For their own purpose they use it, they dare Will people ever in love come together? The water rose higher than ever before It came into the windows and through the door Those that could climbed atop their dwelling They sat on the roof top yelling The broken levees caused the city to flood Water came in from the neighboring lake After it drained there were bodies in the mud This destruction was no mistake The lucky,those that found higher ground For days had no water, no food They waited for help but none was to be found To tell you the truth these people were screwed The dark forces were allowed to do their evil deeds Their heart centers closed up tight Not caring for anyone elses needs Just their agenda. They're black as night Those that died were met by angels fair And taken home and given rest And tended by those that care In this life they had done their best Animals roam the flooded land Left by the people they love No one to give them a helping hand But they are watch by the ones above Finally rescuers came to gather the animals all Taking them to safely and giving them food They heard the creator's call Not all of the animals were screwed Some of them were meant to die Some were meant to live It's not for us to ask why It's just for us our love to give And so the story goes, my friend This is life here on planet earth I'm sorry to say it's not the end The planet is in travail to give birth Sept 20, 2005 ©Copyright All Rights Reserved Lila May Guptill (AKA) Lunaria
