altering earth
May 3, 2023
rocky beginnings
covered to eye level; flooding
downed power lines; whirlpool forming
i need help, continue recording
dangerous rainfall, trash floating
unconscious bodies, lives taken
no sleep, no rest
beg politicians, no help comes
make a promise, with uncertainty
get to work, wade through the water
concrete foundations, found defective
waiting for the next storm
comes with a cost
to high to pay
exhausted, mentally and physically
will it ever end?
or remain damaged for ever.
