by Trevor Trower Midday the quake which shook creation Caused terrible fear across that nation, It’s strength they say was Richter nine, nothing like this in a long, long time. The roads buckled, the buildings fell, some thought they were going thru hell. Many died, and untold were hurt, ten thousand bodies neath the dirt. What caused this awful tragedy Was an earthquake underneath the sea. The highway destroyed, the power lost, ahorrible event and what a cost. Then when things could be no worse along came the most terrifying curse, a tsunami swept in from the sea, a ten meter high calamity. Nothing could withstand its flow which some places inland fifty miles did go. What had been left by the earthquake was washed away for goodness sake. Thousands more dead, a cruel shame, natural forces were to blame. Those fortunate enough to survive bare handed, tried to save those buried alive. Aftershocks, many every hour tore down the last remaining tower. Surely now everything vile was done Nothing left for anyone. But with that devastation one more cross, the nuclear generators had been lost and the radiation in the atmosphere was one more calamity to fear. Around the world people held their breath another tragedy of loss and death. Ninety countries offer to lend a hand to help those people in that stricken land. |
