Texans suffered
subzero frost
scavenged for food
abandoned homes,
sadly, lives lost.
People loss power
endured the chill
those who didn’t
shocked by higher
energy bill.
Cold wreaks havoc
ice hangs from fans
Cruz strikes a nerve
flies to Cancun,
vacation plans.
Little boy sleeps,
Cristian’s his name,
found dead in bed
everyone faults,
no one takes blame.
Garage door closed
mom tries to warm
let’s car idle
family dies
during the storm.
People starving
store shelves sit bare
food is wasted,
no Frigidaire
just frigid air.
People displaced
movement begun,
collecting food
money, water
huge donation.
Biden knows his
response can’t wait
calls on FEMA
Lone Star claimed a
disastrous state.

- 3TC – wasted, cold, everyone
- Same, Same, But Different (change/ displaced; effect/ response; skip/flies; betray/abandon; wonder/shock
- RDP – movement
- WOTD – claim
- SoCS – nerve
Indeed. My prayers with them.
