Tsunami, the Killer Waves

Tsunami, the killer waves.........

When the news of tsunami came crashing to me
my heart felt with sorrow and was reckless insane
Unbearable to see our beautiful villages and towns
were destroyed and left our dreams empty and drained
Can we wash away our tears running down
when the killer tsunami washed away our land
Can we walk through the beach sand again
where our loving children were taken away by tsunami
Can we hold the sea moans its hunger and prey
while stealing our souls in the depth of our loving hearts
Can we put this blame on our Lord who is our saviour
while arrogant ocean struck down us with flint
Can we scold the nature that betrayed us
while thousand of lives did claim
Can we rise our lost loved ones again from the sea
when the ocean became calm
Is there neither any judgment nor courtrooms to argue
but God knows that the nature has won.

Besma Riabi Dziri Date: 9/30/2018 12:58:00 PM How painful are your words! How achingly powerful are the imageries of devastation and sorrow! How powerless Man is in front of hostile and wrathful Nature! We can but surrender in humility seeking mercy and grace.. Faith in God provides balm for our tormented and grieving souls..
