Tsunami... Poem by RAVIKIRAN ARAKKAL

Quiet waves washed
The sea shore, a soft breeze,
Whistled through the palmleaves
Birds sang in the air,
then came the giant
Wave of three hundred feet,
Washing out all the dwellings
Hundreds of feet from
The shoreline, smashing
The roads, cars, trucks in sight
Tumbling them up like toys
Washing ashore the boats
In the sea, people grappling
Anything they could catch,
Killing all the animals in sight,
Demolishing part of human
Creations, so much belieing
The hope of people that the oceon
Mother of so many beings,
Will never harm them.

The poor fishermen belived
That retribution has come,
Through th Tsunami,
For all the wrongs they did in the past.
