Lounging on golden beaches
Snorkelling, swimming with dolphins
Tropical lagoons and pirate cruises
Hidden grottos, skies a sapphire blue
Caribbean paradise smashed and suffering
Hurricanes trailing tornadoes in their wake
Horrendous winds, sea-surges,15feet
Millions evacuated, thousands cowering in shelters
No power, no food, deserted streets,
Storm waters thundering
Palm trees bent like elastic ready to snap
Power lines toppled like ninepins
Roads and bridges drowned
Cars and houses floating past like flotsam
Looters hit and run. Aid charities on standby
Troops defending the homes of vanished people
Caribbean Paradise, flip side brings devastation
From the skies.
