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! | Maxine Crawford Copyright © 2005 Listed 10/20/2005 |
