Wading Thru New Orleans Mothers & fathers crying, Young and old lie dying Those left behind still trying To find their way back home --How can they start To rebuild their lives-- Waters deep & rising Boats tossing & capsizing Life's forcible revising As they fill the Astrodome --Hearts torn apart Lost husbands & wives-- Children saving babies Leading them through Hades Heroic lords & ladies, An example for us all --They're wading through New Orleans hope seems forever gone-- The lost are helping lost Regardless of the cost To find their own glasnost As buildings ‘round them fall --Carrying little but their dreams and in their hearts, a song— The spirit of mankind Will not be left behind & nations are aligned with compassion more than pity --generosity flows across the plains as countrymen respond-- To help these people thrive, Do more than just survive And help them to revive Their dear, beloved city --until the killing waters drain harmless as a pond-- Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
