katrina diaspora

by Henry Burt Stevens
03/27/2006

your right to
transportation
went under 
water now

we'll soak
your voter
card no
absentee ballots

far too poor
too black
too far away
and can't get back

we'll pass
building laws
that put your land
back in public domain

where we'll auction
it off to developers
who'll take care
of the property properly.

diáspora de katrina


por Henry Zumbó authorsden de 03/27/2006 de Stevens. com/henrybstevens


su derecho al transporte pasó debajo de agua ahora


empaparemos su tarjeta de votante no votos por correo


demasiado pobre demasiado negro demasiado lejos lejos y no puede volver


pasaremos construyendo las leyes que ponen su espalda de la tierra en el dominio público


Dónde nosotros lo subastaremos lejos a reveladores que cuidarán de la propiedad apropiadamente.


.........Por favor......If you speak Latino Spanish please comment on this translation.  It is done with an online translator.  I would like to know if it is satisfactory to convey the meaning of the poem.  Gracias, henry

"we'll pass

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>... And the SERFDOM BILL IS ABOUT TO PASS in a CONGRESS that backs violators of our Constitution (USA) in the name and glory of DEMONcracy.

A poetic accomplished task... "katrina diaspora" has delivered a profound message to strike social responsibility.

I salute You, Poet!

Long Healthy Life through a Creative and Blissful Living.

It isn't easy to rebuild a place that has once been destroyed. Your last stanza speaks some truth.
