\nschool buses
\ncity buses
\nsubsidized Amtrak
\nstill demanded the coins of the realm
\nto escape Katrina
\nBurning Bush’s army took charge
\nFEMA took charge
\nBB refusing all foreign aid
\nFEMA refusing permits to medical facilities in place
\norders of “Shoot to Kill”
\nlooters that have no food, no water
