Tanks occupy New Orleans, subjugating this event    Soldiers armed with M-16s, protect private developments    As relief assists the victims, and build first aid hospitals out of tents    Washington gives out orders to open fire on command    As poverty casts its shadows over the ruins now overflowing    those in office steal all the funds, to maintain their oil conquest from deploying    Its profit over people, and its clearly shown    Their actions are inhumane even here at home    If you honestly think they didnt know, youve swallowed their propagandas    Concerns about the levees were warned weeks before Katrina    But their sight focused on the pipelines, shipping oil to the states    As families drowned under the tides from busted water gates    Auditoriums are overcrowded, battalions organized by activists    To inform others about the arrests made on independent journalists    Its profit over people, and its clearly shown    Their actions are inhumane even here at home    Its a battlefield outside, theyve got us all under martial law    barricades between us, crammed in to shopping malls    Now their sketching diagrams to rebuild and restore stability    Draining out potential regions to upstart economy    Unmarked cars and convoys patrol with assault rifles in hand    FEMA wasnt there to assist but there to profit off leftovers of the land    Its profit over people, and its clearly shown    Their actions are inhumane even here at home    New Orleans isnt a history story, its happening right now    Just because its not televised doesnt mean the disappeared were found    Aid medics rushed to the scenes, a day after the hurricane hit    As the military helicopters circled disaster areas and didnt do shit    Rowing boats searching for people waving helplessly on rooftops    While Bush sent reinforcements of mercenaries, contractors and cops    Its profit over people, and its clearly shown    Their actions are inhumane even here at home    As the water fills our lungs    We wait for help to come       New Orleanss occupied    Diego.de.Souza    March 2, 2006
