Prince Bush
After the Devastation
Where will you go;
How long will you stay,
The wait on United,
Another American
Airline delayed
In their releasing;
Where is your return
On the Bahamas hotel
Too close to water,
After the devastation
Absolutely no chance
Being too open, there are threats;
Dangerously close,
Florida and Georgia,
What about your trip
To the world
Parks — they will remain
Open, resume business, tanks
Of water bottles, electricity
Must be aplenty, you think,
You spent your money there;
Noticing the hurricane,
You are still fortunate
To ask four questions.
