As the life die


Darkness surrounds us Every inch of light fades away I, a mere fisherman, am punished I think of my actions as the earth shook I recall my paths as the quake goes on I ask myself as I protect my head "Why?" "Why me?" "Why us?" Anger filled me as buildings collapse Distress engulf me as fires grow But I did not have the privilege of time A large wave comes to this land Water that have been made for the sole purpose of purging life Crashes to our bays I watched as time pass by Houses washed away Children swept Lovers separated History was being erased And we, the mere fishermen, Are dismissed As our life drifts away from our body
