Tsunamis Poem by Francis Duggan

The mighty power of Nature is beyond human control
And when Mother Nature gets angry of human lives she takes toll
The tsunamis or sea quake in South Asia left thousands of people dead
Of this most recent disaster so much written and said.

When thousands die in such a way how can one count the cost
And the families will grieve for their family members lost
To the anger of Mother Nature who is beyond all blame
For the thousands of deaths due to her she does not feel any shame.

Death and life are natural to Nature all things of life must have an end
And we ought to respect her since she is our greatest friend
She grows the food we live on she gives life and she take
And in one outburst of anger she can cause so much heartbreak.

Nature does not respect human made laws since to her we belong
And in her laws you will never find the words of right or wrong
The thousands who died in Southern Asia the young and old and those in their prime
Were only in the wrong place and there at the wrong time.

The irrestible power of Nature it cannot be denied
Just one angry outburst from her and more than one hundred and seventy thousand have died
Our tenure on this Planet is for her to decide
And from her destructive anger there is no place for to hide
