KATRINA’S WAKE

Copyright Roger N. Taber 2005

Jazz city’s played out
(Floods of tears)

People yelling for help
(Who’s listening?)

Others dying of thirst
(Cumbyar, Lord)

Bodies in the sewage
(Songs of silence)

Looting on the streets
(No one to stop it?)

Grabbing clean water
(No matter how)

Tales told of survival
(Water into wine)

Press conferencesƒ
(Help arriving?)

Ghosts at the Gulfƒ
Scared of waking
