Tsunami Terror

In Batticaloa, I lay asleep wide awake In fear, the sea sings Alarmed by every movement, rustle shake. On the bed, under my pillow On the edge, edge of the aggressor The violent waves A paradise by day But at night captivating me, capsizing me to the screams of the grave I lay asleep wide awake Echoes of the children’s screams Been swallowed whole by the wave Praying at with all my might, who will God save? I lay asleep wide awake, in fear of the tsunami Wondering my fate Nature has an army no man can ever make I lay asleep in Batticaloa wide awake written after my trip to Sri Lanka
