The corpse on Union Street
Has lain there long enough to petrify
Knees under tarp & naked feet
National Guard on the looter beat
Cross themselves when they go by
The corpse on Union Street
One took a picture: there is no delete
No do-over, for this poor guy -
Knees under tarp & naked feet
Four days left just like the meat
Stinking up the market nearby
The corpse on Union Street
Is the flag of its, his own defeat:
A gun, not the storm, made him lie
Knees under tarp & naked feet.
Leave him under that blue pastic sheet
Let the living leave the dead to die:
The corpse on Union Steet
Knees under tarp & naked feet

Sad and graphic, but a story that needs to be told and never forgotten.
