Dear North Minneapolis,
As the snow clouds gather, ready to cry down tears of icy flakes to coat your neighborhoods powder… I wonder, will it be enough? Will the neglect the of the state and local governments get media and scream out anger at the frostbitten children living among the diaster strewn homes. The shelters deemed uninhabitable and never treated for fix, because it’s not just those without disaster insurance suffering it’s those who came prepared as well… and I’d like to compare. You drive along the neighborhoods and blocks and blocks of houses lie destroyed, blocks of shelters boarded and ignored, standing vacant 4 months without any reply. Why does the governments speak not? Why are the people left and forgot? It goes to show that the middle class white folks of Hugo, whose pretty houses uprooted and replaced in decent time, sure, they get a comply. And it’s interesting to see the damage is worse but yet it’s not called a natural phenomena from the Earth, no aid is supplied, and lots of people left in the cold… with no ride, left in the cold, in homeless shelters of community buildings, left in rotten house, can’t you hear them cry? The poor lower class hoods of the north, stranded deserted, no help to come forth. No help to come forth. The black communities most affected, left to fend, this is disconnected! Hugo got help, and the numbers were less… what can we make of this mess? Soon winter will come… will it be enough? Minneapolis tell me, WILL IT BE ENOUGH?
