I Will Not Complain

by A.N.M. - Pisces


At least for a while...
I will not complain
About how "hot" it is
Without A/C...no rain.

Poor little me...
Used to comfort, what's easy...
Complaining about things
That now make me queasy

To know what I HAVE
And how "gross" I have been!
To whine about ANYTHING
Now seems like a sin!!

As I see all the people
In chaos, and grief!!!!
Along the Gulf Coast
And with LITTLE relief!!

Elderly dying...
Small babies too...
100 degree heat...
Wallowing in a stew

Of filthy water
Too spoiled to drink---
So thirsty and hungry
It makes my heart sink!

Most homeless, with
NOWHERE, NOWHERE to go!!
The likes of which many
Of us could not know.

So I will not complain!!
I have not the right!!
God speed all the victoms
Of Katrina's hell-might.
