How do I begin to paint a picture?
The aftermath of Katrina
Greater terror then the physical damage
Image after image
The image of anger
Shock and desolation
Image of unrelenting sorrow
Layered one atop the other
Shocking like something out of a nightmare
A baby held aloft
Inches above a sea of desperate faces
Human left where they’ve fallen
Robbed of the simple dignity of a shroud
Survivor waiting
Fighting
Creaming
Begging for food
Wanting/begging to died
To end the misery
Tears of surrender
To begin again
