#helpstatenisland
(poems go here) The year of 2012, we faced a horrible event
The destruction of life and homes is what this meant
For there was a hurricane named Sandy
She was bitter and un-sweet like candy
She swept the earth
Destroyed all that was worth
For days the power was out
It was cold, dark and the people began to pout
The storm destroyed so many memories, so many places, anything you could see
Everywhere you walked there was tree down after tree
A lot of Staten Island was destroyed
This was something the government tried to avoid
Staten Island was in need
But we were the forgotten Island for no one helped or did a deed
Finally Staten Island cried out
The Red Cross came to help all over and about
Hurricane Sandy affected us one by one like a huge chain
Imagine the feelings of those who lost their homes, imagine the pain
I’ll never forget what the marina looked like, oh what a sight
There were boats in places you’d never imagine leaving such a fright
Pictures can’t ever compare to seeing in person
I don’t think the situation could worsen.
Our beaches, homes and loved ones were gone
So please lend a hand, please just help anyone
