Flooding
The water fills up
Contaminating around
the fragile rooting
Nothing holds on tight
Grasping hands slip and sliding
Away from the hope
What can we all do?
Something must be done right now
The money is sent
Empty wishes fade
Life goes on while others die
Tears cake in dry eyes
Clogged efforts are slow
Wading through the dark water
hoping to avert sharp teeth
Natural forces
Too big for comprehending
Our only excuse
Time will not pass soon
An exhausting wait for souls
whose time has not come
Pray for an answer
