japan

Author: Unknown

How sad it is
when you see
japan and its people
living in ruins
after that tidal wave

Rubble and ruin
sea and pollution
people still
in need of much help

Prayers are offered
sadness touches
feeling just feeling
for people out there

Its one flash point of
so many today
in a world uneasy
in so many ways

So I send out a prayer
maybe others somewhere
will reach out
as I know they will
to people in much need

It is funny how Japan used to be our enemy, now a very close friend, the friend I spent yesterday with is a good example of how love can in the end conquer any disaster, natural or manmade.

Such a great need... and I didn't realize there's a possible 2nd tsunami(I don't watch much news).
Great write - thanks for the reminder - we tend to forget after awhile - but we need to remember them for a long time, as they're going to need help for a very long time...

hi scatlyn, yes i wrote this the day after, there was a warning of a second, and one could see themselves bracing for it, earthquake had been on a 5 or 6 scale, they were anticipating another tusami, but were fortunate..it did not come...yes like you say we can forget..thanks again..for your comments scatlyn
