The Flood, Inspired by the flood in Louisiana 2016

The Flood
by: T.Hailes

Biblical like alluvion.
Raging like a thousand bulls,
on a mad dash downstream
devouring all in it's path.

Posiden's fluid matter
surges forward furiously
reclaiming the land
displacing 1/3rd of its inhabitants.

Fifteen thousand homes were swallowed,
engulfed by a superabundance of rain-
water. Memories quickly washed away,
like debris on a beach.

The Mississippi River ascended
the levees of Morganza Floodway.
Massively flowing across Ascension
Parrish.  This can not be a coincidence.

Is it Dejavu?  Katrina part two?
How could this happen again?
Twenty thousand rescued, over ten-
thousand in shelters.  Thirteen dead!

Who is to blame?  Let the finger-
pointing begin.
