in 1971
we had one
damn near blew us away
that was yesterday

took down walls

took us alls

how many years
24 i guess

the wind blew so hard
it was hard to tell
when the wind was
only rain

then i looked out a window
and saw
a hurricane

for weeks
we had no water
to drink
no time to think

held a gun
in my hand
to protect my own
and what i own

saw the distruction
felt the instruction
to live
hurricane
didn't give

in 1971

i learned to live
