I Know I Ain't Blind

By: Sica

Manhattan's underwater, 

Queen's is on fire,

Power lines are down,

There's no gas causing riots.

Jails are locked down, inmates stuck and 

worried, 

The first storm was painful, 

Now a second storm is coming.

Wow, 

Look at everybody now, 

Everybody's praying and God's nowhere

to be found.

No shower in weeks, 

Tap water's contaminated, 

Stock markets crashing, 

Who cares about graduation, 

School's have been closed, 

People lost all their clothes,

There's nothing else to do but spend money, 

drink, and smoke.

The Hudson River overflowed, and I saw

car floats, 

I thought I was high, pinched myself, it

ain't a joke.

I saw the towers fall, I was ten blocks

away, 

It seems like the demolition team was trained.
