“You can’t hold me, take care of the kids”,

His hand was clutching mine tighter, apparent Katrina was on course
I’d always been a fighter, but this “woman” was one of a greater force
My kids were crying I only hoped that they could stay on the ground
I glanced quickly around me and the changes were already profound
She took me in her arms and embraced me, as my husband despaired
We knew she was coming but never forecast this, we weren’t prepared
I told him to look after our babies, not to worry this was just my time
I was hurled into the air, away from my home, surrounded by grime
Now in the sky, I prayed for my family as heaven opened its gates
Cried as it welcomed me to its world that’s far away from the states



I’m lost she’s all I had, she’s all I had- Harvey Jackson

I tried to hold on to her, she was my life, the shining star in the night
When I was down, she would comfort me and try to put things right
I lost her, looked up and she disappeared from view, my face drawn
How am I going to tell my children that their mother has now gone?
Amidst all the chaos, I told a reporter the incident that had occurred
My kids by my side, I described everything, and how it was so absurd
I met my wife’s eyes before she let go and they were filled with fear
I muttered after she left, how without her was I supposed to persevere
Now all we have is the clothes we stand in and we’ve lost our routine
Unbelievable a country once rich now struggling to find water that’s clean
