Drowning in my own tears....

My senses are overwhelmed with
the sights and sounds of destruction.
My eyes fill with tears as I view bodies
floating in dark slimy water....
My ears ache when I hear that this
whole scenario was predicted a year ago
and no precautions were taken...
I can almost smell the stench of racism
when I realize that so many poor people
of color were trapped in low lying areas
that was just ripe for liquid destruction.

And it could all happen again.

I feel sad, scared and very angry.
