The Bottom Line I'm sorry to offer such drivel in a time of such pain, but I needed to write what I've written to make sense of things.
I see the bodies floating by Bloated balloons in a septic sky And in between thoughts of how? and why? The helplessness of a child's cry A million questions are left to seize on as Katrina has washed away our reason as the precursor of a deadly season as thousands die at Nature's treason Women scream as gunshots ring after the floods have rushed and the winds did sing what further anguish will these waters bring to intensify the suffering Disease and crime and mass despair like crows take flight and crowd the air and ravage those Nature chose to spare, those forced to ponder the worth of prayer As trucks roll in, please be forewarned that - as thousands more must still be mourned in toxic liquid coffins unadorned - Life is not that to be scorned What is here today can be tomorrow drowned and vanish without a single sound pray for the dead, those heavenbound as again this country must rebound We've grown accustomed to the sight of Hell but let this be the warning bell and listen to the solemn knell of those forced too soon to say farewell So kiss your father, and love your brother and say kind things to one another Help your sister, and hug your mother and pray the Lord keep every other ~ Mothermeatloaf (c) 04 September 2005  |
