when the levees break

when the water
rises, when
the levees break,
when the ocean
moves in
and takes away
everything you
thought that
mattered, that's
when life
truly begins.
you have no choice
but to find
higher grown,
or go under,
unchanged
to drown.

This is a wonderful poem -- so clear and to the point. I love it.
