Houston
has been hit for several days with record rainfall that blows one’s mind
According
to a now fired Ken Storey because Texas voted for Trump explains why it is in
such a bind
The
optics coming out of Texas as Harvey delivered a Texas sized amount of grief
Show
a people united as one trying to give each other some sense of relief
Like
the Brits coming down the Thames heading for the Cliffs of Dover
In
private boats despite waiting shells and
bombs to Dunkirk heading over
An
army to be saved to fight again the Nazi horde
Pulling
Tommy after Tommy from the beaches to be onboard
In
Houston where streets became rivers, houses getting ready to float away and
field became lakes
Hundreds
upon hundreds of boats searching to prevent more deaths all hands of deck to do
what it takes
It
mattered not whether a drowning target was an Indy, Blue or Red
Volunteers
trying at all costs to keep them in the land of the living and not dead
The
waters kept rising it would not abate
Death
by drowning is a terrible fate
Unlike
the 500 New Orleans police officers who as Katrina hit became MIA
The
Houston PD answered the call of “All hands on deck!” and one of its own was KIA
Working
almost around the clock, drenched with little to drink or eat
Like
their fellow citizens unwilling in the face of rising waters to admit defeat
Politics
used to stop at this nation’s waters’ edges
Looked
like the adage would apply as flood waters rose to window ledges
Melania
Trump full of dignity and grace was wearing heels to Marine One to head to
Andrews Air Force Base
Then
the leftist “comics” and media outlets started to ridicule her and the politics
of hate and bias again embrace
Led
by Chelsea Handler who is not funny and for whom any sense of decorum has long
since been erased
People
flooded or blown out and will return to ruin and the media looks to heels-what
a shameful disgrace
After
touching down in Galveston Melania did the women professionals commuting
reverse
Instead
of sneakers to the office and then to heels from a large bag or purse
Walking
down the stairs from Air Force One
Sneakers
as the heels onboard she had shunned
Another
jeremiad about much to do about nothing from the celebs and MSM
When
will outpouring of bias and hatred of all things Trump be finally stemmed?
Floods
or other disasters can bring out in people their very best
But
not in the Handlers or Storeys of the world whose growing hatred of Trump they
cannot arrest
