New Orleans


A time of sorrow at least it came
[by wind] and not by hand of man
to give ones life is hard enough
to lose a city by God's command
at least it's not so rough
the way of life at your command
is flooded.

New Orleans II


The battle of New Orleans
was fought with wind and rain,
no one won,but all have come
to feel the loss of home a homeless
person feels,he feels his loss
he feels his pain,he lives
from one day to the next
the same way and manner
all the rest of you do,
and sometimes better.
