Katrina

the fragiltys amazing
understand what im saying
theres so much pain and stryfe
people dying that need saving
how can this loss of life
be totaled to satisfaction?
the death that we hear about
will only be a fractoin
of what was lost
when this all happened
it shows in a way
that were all trapped in
theres not much as humans
that we can do
to save our selves
when lifes unglued
we didnt make it
we cant control it
just a reminder
as we try to hold it
theres more than us
than you and me
theres more to life
than what you see
what was lost
was already gone
the pain is real
its close to home
but what was lost
we didnt have
we saw it once
but it cant be bagged
it cant be sold
and it cant be bought
what we thought we had
was already lost
i feel the pain
i see the tears
every thing
was oh so near
but when stripped of shelter
our nature shows
a people living
in their death throws
america
so strong and proud
when caused to hurt
can cry so loud
so much freedom
but so much yearning
for something more
than all this hurting
it shows a part
we dont want to see
a part inside
of you and me
the slow respone
wether race or creed
the looting and killing
in time of need
no one to trust
but ourselves
no one there
when we need to be held
so this reminds me
in my simple exsitance
that god is here
not just in the distance
close to you
close to me
helping the lost
to finally be free
