Tsunami 2004

Never could imagine, didn’t even think,
That these waves could be so wounding;
Calm and quiet once which they seemd,
Now they seem so terrifying;

Early in the morning, out of the blue,
Oh mine! How it came roaring,
With its mouth wide open, so large,
Gulped everything that came on its path,
Never could imagine, didn’t even think,
That these waves could be so wounding.

The villages so noisy, the shores so calm,
Now it’s all upside down;
Brought death everywhere so terrific,
Now what all we see is so pathetic;
Washed all the streets so near to it,
Has touched all the hearts there, where it couldn’t reach;
Agony and anguish too hard to bear,
Is now what it has left everywhere.

Never could imagine, didn’t even think,
That these waves could be so wounding.
