Remember Katrina

Watching the aftermath of Katrina, the throngs huddled at the Superdome, the lack of water, of food, the racial makeup of those who had been left behind, was very traumatic for me -- I had never seen anything like it in America. After a few days of watching I wrote this to put down in words for all time what I was actually seeing on television.
