Tsunami In Japan,2011

My daughter’s hand had slipped away! My hand was empty in a trice; Sea-water took her in a flash; It happened all so suddenly! There was no time to think or act; The water toppled houses, roads; Cars, ships and planes were found afloat; Nothing could stop the sea invade! I woke to find that I’m alive! No more was my daughter with me; Oh, what terrible tragedy! Was living thus, worthy for me? All land was under sea-water! Most houses were mere planks of wood; The muddy rubble filled the place; Just corpses, carcasses met us. Was it a dream of horror then? No, it was all reality! The sea ravaged the coastal land; The city was erased from the map! A Tsunami had struck Japan! It was the worst over decades; The toll of lives was rising high! Did God forsake and abandon? I had been saved by miracle; The Tsunami came despite God? Why Nature’s fury hit mankind? Yes, none can tell and none will ev’r! ‘May all souls lost, rest in peace! May the quake and Tsunami cease! ’ Copyright by Dr John Celes 14-03-11
