"Frozen Nightmare"
This place is a barren wasteland,
when it used to be a place of beauty.
I just can't believe my eyes,
when I look at everything I see.
All we worked on,
we thought was here to stay.
And yet in front of our eyes,
it was taken in less than a day.
Life will never be the same,
yet I go on like it's a lie.
There's so much pain everywhere,
and I just break down and cry.
Death is everywhere,
bodies lie all over the place.
Buildings are in shambles,
and friends disappear without a trace.
Trees stay in tilted pose,
just be glad that you weren't there.
Because each day I get up,
I have to look at my frozen Nightmare.
From the eyes of a Hurricane Katina survivor.
