Array ( [sid] => 117718 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Katrina [time] => 2006-04-04 21:29:08 [hometext] => This is dedicated to the finger pointing government officials whose asses we pad with our tax dollars ........ Viet Nam revisited????? [bodytext] => Bitter winds blow damp and cold
Howling, on disaters lonely night
Water rising, deep and black
Come to claim treasures most cherished
Hope fades, as darkness falls cold and black
No sign of rescue near
Many welcomed to it's cold wet caress
Deaths wanton river seeks more

Gone now are the relics and spoils of mans past
His memories, cherished, displayed
Gone are the dreams
The fruits of his toil
Earned under sweating brow
Gone is the laughter that once filled the air
Replaced by the savage cold silence
And gone are the plans of days yet ahead
Lost, to disasters hungry river

Soon day will dawn to a landscape changed
Altered by natures great fury
Lost in his fear man will cry to be heard
With only the silence his answer
Darkly she lingers to offer caress
Inviting still, the injured and the weak
In days to come, more yet will seek peace
In the arms of deaths hungry river
