Poetic Verses
My First Hurricane
This scary situation was something my mid will always retain
It was also my first experience with any type of hurricane
This I most certainly hope and pray will be a one- time affair
Because any hint of another coming I will definitely no stay there
For many hours both the wind and the rain in unison pound
Many houses in the island to their combine fury succumb
And in the aftermath it was quite obvious in an instant
That the place seemed to have been under a bombardment
The wind in all its fury did swell the surrounding sea waters
And they submerged the land in area from so many corners
Some people said they climbed the stairs to avoid the water but it kept coming
So they had to seek some form of refuge in the roof's ceiling
There were some houses paneled or had ceilings made of sheet rock
Which when saturated with water have no other recourse but to drop
This water too on some brought horrors and inflicted some scars
Because all around there were some damaged and totally destroyed cars
Great was the hurt as there were some many tears shed around
As many people see how their accumulations and personal effect strewn
It made the felt like vermin as they had to dig and certainly forage
Through the apparent rubbish looking for anything to salvage
But what a great dose of reality dispensed by this severe weather
There was no type pecking order preferred by its as it breathed disaster
Therefore from the addict to that perceived upper class person
Had to stand in line for hours with the rest of us to get that ration
But out of this situation came a look of moment that were very good
That kindness that human caring was something that certainly showed
How people in the land to each other extend that kind loving hand
Why does it take situation like these for us to be kind to out brother man
So how come in this situation brought on by this adverse system
We can somehow be prudent and find a way around the problem
It time to apply a similar type of mentality to the current situation
This will most certainly be a way to ride out some part of the recession.
