After the deluge ends
and the pumps kick in
to drain the city that was drowned,
drained of all she once was,
where will she rise again?
Some believe she shall arise again
resume business as usual
but is it time to reevaluate?
How can the people rebuild upon sinking land,
where Mother Nature cannot be held back.
How can you stop it from resinking
a city that is below sea level...
upon what solid foundation
can a new New Orleans be built?
How high must the levee be
to hold back another push from the sea?
It's understandable that no one wants
to address these issues right away,
while evacuation and rescue efforts
are still under way today.
But somewhere down the road
someone is going to have to answer
some really tough questions.
Where will the new New Orleans be?

He sat

contemplating

Noah,

deciding the fate

of Sodom and Gomorrah

raining tears

upon the hungry
