Nature

March 2011 spring is on the way The sea is Calm slight haze on the bay The sea is our life the fishing is good We depend on the ocean for our livelihood Rumble in the distance buildings begin to shake Screaming shouting it’s an earthquake Riverbeds are dry as the water reseeds Nowhere to run nowhere to hide Run run faster as quick as you can Got to get higher every woman child and man The town has been consumed devastation everywhere People are in shock cries of despair Sky drenched in flame dust in the air Such immense power natures so unfair The sea is usually benign but not two day Twenty thousand souls washed away This cannot be we learned from the past Built the levies higher built them to last No matter what we do it will never be enough Natures to strong and where not strong enough Written by M.BURTON
