Granny Cynthia’s Hurricane Song
Granny Cynthia wrote this Hurricane Decima following hurricane Michelle in 2001, but it is still applicable during major hurricanes —-at least until the Cuba embargo is lifted.
Hurricane Song
It could not be more compelling
Thousands were evacuated
Destruction was anticipated
While the tidal waves were swelling
People fought to secure their dwellings
The damage and devastation
All across this island nation
Means we must respond with due speed
To our brothers and sisters in need
To supply their daily ration
Downpours caused floods unabated
As neighborhoods were wiped off maps
While others were spared from collapse
As Cuba’s citizens waited
While the storm it escalated
EASE the restrictive embargo
To streamline shipping the cargo
If Congress would lift the blockade
The solution could now be made.
