Mardi Mess

Littered looted land and sadly scattered lives
comes of misjudging nature’s heavy hammer
as an ancient levee suddenly sunders away.

Now there’s so many with something to say
after being left in a hurricane’s slammer
and now only survival instinct strives

Drowning past lifestyles now a fad these days
as the bureaucratic mess they made blooms
and the welfare state backfires on it self.

FEMA promises it has something on the shelf
amid the tattered leavings of this doom
another lesson the left forces us to pay.

Mardi Mess II

The finger pointing has just begun
the blame game got started before
the first setting of the sun



humans sent to the dome
no food, no water, no cots,
no comforts of home

The sick, the aged, the helpless
the poor, used as they have not been
used before

A mouthy woman senator disgraces
the Senate, threatens to punch
out our President for his criticism

The do nothing governor, a clueless mayor
wait for the Feds to bail out the mess
hurling insults and to this day no official
request for relief

Thankless, shameless, leaders on cue
while 200 buses left for our view
the blame game bandies about
the outlaw gangs roam freely at will.

It's New Orleans we hear,
the Big Easy, let the Good Times Roll,
now an open cesspool, over flowing with vice,
and America we'll pay for the mess
no need to think twice.

To the credit of our Military,
humans lifted away
from the hellholes of existence
to a clean cot, water and food, medical help
for the infirm
the aged treated with compassion, loving and care.

No whining, or moaning from them to we hear
they roll up their sleeves
saving lives, searching in homes
for the many still there.

The Military, our heroes no praise
will they take, it's our job they say
get to the job, and do with excellence
any task, while the Governor of New Orleans
still refuses to ask.
