Mass evacuation of New Orleans.

01 Sept, 2005. New Orleans, Louisiana.
Mass evacuation of New Orleans begins. A poem handed to us by an evacuee as they headed to the busses taking them out of New Orleans to destinations unknown.
The poem by Lethia Guichard is titled;
'Dying to Survive.'
Life is full of its ups and downs,
As we chase rainbows all around,
They seem to lead us everywhere,
That gives us joy and pain to bear,
Those in charge are not to be found,
Faith not a face stayed or came to town,
leaving us in this fishbowl of hell water to drown.
