A Tale Of Light & Fight

Cataclysmic temblors

Exploding reactors

Unimaginable horrors

Unseen terrors

Monstrous seas

Shifting axis

Crashing waves

A catastrophic octave

Heartrending cries

Vanishing lives

Desperate tries

Drowning hopes

Tears, sobs

Time stops

Homes razed

Lives lost

Minds dazed

Radioactive rays

Fires blaze

A nation prays

to turn over

a new page

Unseen courage

Belief, faith

in the face of

a certain death

Cruel fate

Fight

Fight

Fight

till the last breath

Indomitable spirit

Valor, grit

Patience, thrift

A gift

Author's Note

I hope I did justice to what I set out to articulate...For words fail before the juggernaut of nature and the willpower of man...

This is an amazing poem, Siddhartha.. filled both sorrow and hope, pain, loss, renewal of spirit. I think when Nature tries to reclaim what is hers we see this kind of destruction.. we would do well to live on the land in peace with Nature and not destroy Nature.. she will always reclaim her Earth, though tragic it will be for humans. Excellent write, my friend.

Japan lives with our precious words..a terrible thing to have happened..a critical portrayal of the haplessness of a great country and about disasters and our helplessness in general. Fascinating journey through your words..an epic portrayal

If I am correct you are contemplating the travesties in Japan...and elsewhere. Truly a poignant write - I like the play of the words and its message. Thank you.
