The Reflection of a Toxic Heart
by Maxine Crawford

She came pummeling furiously; wind,
rain, destruction and debris
To a once bustling old French city
reduced to an awesome pity, my eyes fed
Flooded to the rooftops with liquid dread.
The bowl holds, levees break
As the mold grows, security is stayed
Bloated bodies lie, sacrificial lambs on
An unholy altar. Who cried?
The lethal concoction of feces, death
and decay
That would take a knat’s breath away
Breading ground for mosquito’s and snakes
Characteristic of pacts that were (in secret) and still
are being made.
Most evacuated except the poor.
Packed like sardines in a sports camp
No sanitation, little food and water
Reports of missing children, rape and
murder.
A lot of us wept for days in front of
CNN
While God swept blindfolds of ignorance
from foolish and vain men
Who promote a demonic doctrine of Eugenics,
Just a fancy word for prejudice.
We watched the ALL-POWERFUL pulverized
to the all-powerless
What a freaking mess!
Katrina a pissed-off god who wielded
her rod.
She rose up with determination and headed
for the destination of Nod,
To answer the prayers that rose up high
With a fiery pungent incense that lingered
in the sky from long dead Indians and slaves
Up in God's grill for centuries until
his anger was finally crazed
We built and fed the proud, the arrogant
and the greedy egos.
Hey, where did all the wealth go?
The merciful found space for the displaced
Maya said "I too shall arise"
I say "Thank you guys for having the guts
to defy vice."
We, like the Hebrews can take a beating
and keep on breading.
Look at HER-THE TOXIC CITY
She represents the heart of the toxic
Elite.
BOY! DID SHE REPRESENT?
Clean up will be Costly, Painful and
on a Grand Scale
We need an antidote
Some need to wake up and find themselves
Noir and poor by tomorrow morning
THIS IS A PRE-WARNING!
