Japan Earthquake-Tribute Poem by Areena Arora

Japan Earthquake-Tribute



'Mamma' cried the little child
and sorry mum was away
carried by the waters
and the storm
she couldn't stay
not this time
could mum be there
and poor little girl
was left alone to cry.

Heaven's a bit too far
for mum's plead
couldn't be heard
separation is a pain
there it was seen
water lord was in rage
and so was mother earth
man stepped no behind
added to the disaster
all his mighty bit

for what followed then
was panic widespread
post days as many as they pass
I know
the pain shall remain alive
for what's gone
can never be back
but this was a call

a major warning
for those in audience
to the humanity
shouted the environment loud
a message to be told clear
better mend the ways
the cruel path man is on
all you do, at every step
harm mother earth immense

when shall human race realize
the land they destroy
is their's.
to develop
earth bares all.
for every need of ours,
is taken care of
why then my lord asked
could I be cruel, on extremes
my mother land pleaded
I unanswered all prayers
for I the humanity
walks unaware
off all deeds I do,
are to kill me someday
perhaps am late,
and perhaps again shall I have to pay.
