Aftermath

January 12th 2010..
Apparently that's where it all begins..
A sudden rush of sympathy
Seems as if we
Act only where there's a tragedy..
Like we crumble inside
When we see the perils of others lives..
So telethons we televise
Tweak the publics cries
To envoke a certain level of outcry
In August of 05
Seems we were also traumatized
Tears flowed..as the water rised
Had ignorant ass Bush
Leading the national push..
Once paralyzed as a nation..
Now we stand gripped by another sensation..
News crews
Painting shitty views
Of violence and looting..
Shooting..
Refusing
To honor the fact
That when ur up against the wall..nothing at ur back..
By any means...
Is ur mantra that's how I see things...
Country so quick
To deal with other folks shit..
When our backyard aint fixed..
Check this..
What happens when Wyclef stops yelling "sak pase"
Will we as Americans have anything to say?
Will we treat them like the 9th ward and look the other way?
Right now we shook up
Next time u look up
Forgotten story
We flip the channel like this starting to bore me..
We can't be like that..
Haiti..New Orleans I got ur back
