Swarnapali Liyanage - Ode to Tsunami

Roaring anger through great seven seas
erupted as spiteful giant water columns
Swept off fragile nations to oceans
You! the most cruel catastrophe of all
Turned suburbs along seaboards to graves
Naked bodies decayed among their own rubbles
Once paradises changed to unlivable grounds
You! fateful miracle engulfed loving kith and kin
Scattered carcasses gave out foul reeks
Rescuers buried them in mass graves
Crows and foxes devoured untimely preys
You! mindless wonder created such horrible scenes
Orphanages filled by infants, kids and elders
None could erase their awful memories
Blockaded their glowing future for ages
You! mighty disaster made them stand still
Wonderful tales about mermaids and leviathans
skills and talents on gears and crafts
carried to sea among laments of fishing folks
You! heartless monster made mother Earth sadden
