The Voice After the Yolanda Surge

The Voice(After the Yolanda Surge) I never thought they would still Be able to see light After the squabbles, the surge, the darkness... I heard of the waves that swerved like a car Crashed and pounded the dwellings Of poor desperate souls... I heard their voices , their cries, their wailing On that night of November...though I was not there... I felt the pain, penetrating my bones, Smashing my heart, tearing my being into pieces Like shattered glasses... Now, thank God,the world extends its hands The globe listens and prays with them, with us, There were those who have died in agony but I'm sure they live among us still... The survivors still wail, but give out a sigh of relief Our brothers in the south and in the north have come for us... And bring us hope that Tomorrow...all will be well...and for that We are grateful.
