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.Birth sign: Pisces
