God Waves Goodbye Poem by Roshan Sabapathy

God Waves Goodbye



Lost, beaten, tired and still afraid
Water and rubble everywhere with no one in sight.
She wades through the water looking for some aid
Dragging herself from place to place with all her might

Looking and searching desperately, trying to find
Her daughter, her son and her baby boy
Trying to keep bad thoughts out of her mind
She trods on holding her baby’s toy

The pain slowly creeps into her
As her hope diminishes and is replaced by fear
Bodies floating, people crying, the smell of death in the air
She suddenly stops and breaks down in despair

She screams “GOD! This is unfair! ”
