"Hurricanes"

Many had came and passed
But Katrina didn’t show any class
August 2005 she came
Left New Orleans and the Gulf Coast in pain
She hit as a cat three
Knocked down plenty trees
The government was nowhere to be found
The whole city had drowned
Rain, rain, rain
The levees broke
The city was under water
While many people was out looting
Some stood on their roof
Crying for help
Most evacuated but some stayed
Some survived while others didn’t
Bodies was flowing
Such a sad sight to see
I thought it was just TV
But it was real life
Left many in strife
Katrina was like no other
Didn’t show no mercy
Many got displaced
And still haven’t returned to the place
Many homes was destroyed
Still till this day
They are trying to rebuild
FEMA helped out as much as they could
But that still wasn’t enough
Katrina did the cities rough
Three years later
Katrina’s mark is still there
Then came another
A weird name he had
Gustav is what they called him
He struck the same places
Although, he hit only as a cat one
He bought the pain and much rain
The question was are the levees going to break?
But they stood strong
The city still flooded
But they had hope
Yes, they was prepared this time
They got them out
Bus full of peoples, not knowing where they going
They ordered a mandatory evacuation
Even Bush was presence
He was scheduled to speak at the convention
But it was postponed
Because of the bad weather!
