The Flood
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 Déjà vu? 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.

Thank You for taking the time
Thank You for taking the time to read my poem. It was inspired by the flood that took place in Ascension Parrish, Louisiana a couple of months ago. I hope you enjoyed it.
