Gut wrenching
Bowel clenching
Loo stenching
Throat heaving
Sick making
Head aching
No sleeping
Mum’s waking
She’s crying
Not dying….
Tipsy!

The bodies linger around me
Death and decay stenching the air
I'm the only one left
Alive
Yet dead and alone
THey all left
Knowing I would survive
Yet they went
And left
Anyways
Their bodies lay there
With smirk looks
Sprawled across their faces
Mocking me
All alone
They are all together
Either up in Heaven
Or down in Hell
Laughing at me
Still here on Earth
Their spirits may surround me
But I'm still alive
Still alone
Yet
More dead than ever
< the sleeping giant once again has been awoke
to the sounds of great thunder and billows of smoke
what has happened his imperial's majesty's sleep
out from the depts of hell a great wavetrain has creeped
tainting soil where once land had been so enriched
brandishing homes businesses left them in a ditch
twisted metals dancing in swirls of stenching air
recovered bodies of beloved this is so unfair
across it's great mountain range somber is now heard
unity becomes one and not forgotten word
rebuild rebuild the sleeping giant request
let our people of japan return to their nest
for there will always's be another tomorrow
where earthquakes and tsunami's will bring such sorrow
for an sleeping giant all nestled in his bed
and his people dressed in five elements of thread
Tribute To Japan
