' At The Mercy Of A Stranger ' Poem by Tina Marie Clark

I felt as if I was riding a big wave, then suddenly
it was dry, I felt so confused, yet there was no
time to cry, finally I was left alone with my thoughts
without the facade, my mind tried to deny what I knew
to be real in my heart

I got a glimpse at the end of the world, Katrina was a
mean one, she didn't discriminate at all, she gave new
meaning to a woman scorned, thousands of people were
suddenly displaced, there were so many who are
no longer on this earth, after Katrina brought down her
wrath, for many there was nothing left, after some of the
shock had worn off and I found myself no longer in danger
I found myself 'At The Mercy Of strangers'
