with the sun hidden
by the pouring rain
with a small glimpse of sunshine
through the clouds of pain

with the winds of evictions
with falling trees
as the flood is upon us
from the breaking of a levee

as the clouds breakaway
in the darkness of night
with devastation upon us
during the morning light

with the smell of death
lingering through the air
people crying
looking for their dead

no place to go
no food or water to be had
no sign of help
we’d be better off dead

why does this have to be
why did it happen to me
why  doesn’t anyone care for me

left me with a shattered life
of anger flowing through my veins
