Visiting New Orleans, LA for 100 Days of Outrage, from Pennsylvania - Shari Kohan

To the American people and the government, honor all life killed in this massacre/disaster and wake up and heed the call.


As for our leaders, they point their fingers at each other,
each quoting God to justify their sovereignty,
right after, of course, they all seal the deal to conspire
with the nastiest Thugs in the world,
while turning their heads, filling their pockets,
and smiling like we’re some kind of fools.

Still, I truly do wish they all could find the part of them
that might still actually be Pure – buried somewhere deep in their souls,
cause God knows I see not a trace.
Not at this moment at least.
You see, my eyes are blurred with tears of no end
Tears for our Mom, who I wish to embrace.

I FEEL her Pain, deep in my core.
Her wound is in a VITAL place!
She’s a tough, old broad
She’s taken a lot.

WHY SHOULD SHE TAKE ANYMORE????

She gives us Everything we need to live Well,
Yet we’ve learned to squeeze her for more –
using most of this blood in 100 or so years
that took 65 million years to form.
