[hometext] => This is just some insight and thoughts that i felt while watching the choas Katrina left beyond the damage. Mixed with my college life and my issues.
[bodytext] => This disaster happened months ago and you ain’t forget Yeah I did I must admit It didn’t bother me neither Until once again I saw people put in bad situations that had my same features Ain’t never been to a saints game But now they get the privilege of sleeping in the bleachers Now every government official wants to use god and wants to be a preacher But you can’t use god in school Maybe it’ll be ok if we taught a scripture or two on cable So I wrote Below sea level and below Poverty Its ironic how some are starving and reporters got food oddly On that day them New Orleans became them new Orpheans I guess it was about a race because they were the last to the chase Dem levees levels only covered a F3 They needed help but couldn’t find the F1 See thats the key But that F1 is frightened so he flies around in Air force 1 We can shoot them missiles But if I shoot for the stars I’ll owe the government loans and fees In this disaster the only cheese they’ll get from the government is that box of cheese Its funny how one election can determine a reaction Hurricane or Tornado nothing would’ve happened See in a place where the nations poorest Are put on a stretch of land that’s characteristics were poorest Graves that lay above ground in cement fixtures It seems that it would’ve been a clue but they painted over the picture But when those towers crashed No building were there, but Police and fireman ran in like back draft In this case the fireman and the police ran away, like it was ok But the reality was They were scared because they created this monster See but the natives were seen raiding Meijer’s Our government intelligence sent scuba divers in 4 ft of waters I hear it’s the thing to due to get rid of other cultures Aids, Genocide, Homicide, or keep them poorly suppressed like apartheid Trying to make a whole culture disappear wit time like Atlantis At least, the least of their worries is not having Neo-Nazis coming to their campus The media gave a voice to the voiceless Edited and depicted it until they had no choices The media limited their coverage to last about a couple of weeks Weaker will get weaker while the wealthy reaches they peaks But just like the poor’s issues it’ll go into stealth When the water took over the streets like Venice Years earlier poverty took over those same streets like Venus did tennis Just like tennis the prestigious stood and watched high away from the battle It seemed to me others saw it as a publicity stunt and a promotional event But its up to us to judge their true intent But let’s not miss the underlining theme Now people rush to buy that land Not to rebuild But to rebuild green Below sea level and below poverty I refuse to be below eye level and in any form cowardly [comments] => 1 [counter] => 213 [topic] => 41 [informant] => jayced [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 19 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
