Sly stealth Tsunamis hitting by surprise

Annihilated furlough  paradise,

Immense the prize, so very high the cost,

Tsunami hit, and paradise was lost.



Surrounded by Tsunami water wall,

And walls and more walls, devastating, tall,-

With people trapped , endeavoring to flee-

Some made it, but face waves of agony.



The violent earthquake broke the littoral,

Thus setting free the killer  water wall,

It broke, -our mother earth’s crust,

And rest and ease a thing now  of the past.



The Indonesian paradise now is

A heap of devastation and debris,

But baby‘s bucket and small train still lies

Upon the sand of treacherous paradise..



Full mad with grief, expression  crazed and wild

The mothers run to find their little child,

While smiling high above azure the skies

Care not about the loss of Paradise.



With corpses littered is the sunny shore

On  which vacationers will run no more,

Foul and infectious stench is in the air

And faces mark wild grieving  and despair.



“ Where is my wife” one asks, but no one knows

And seeks amongst  the dead his new wed spouse,

A tourist foreign language student cries:

“Hi is gone- we were about to fraternize.”



While full maddened mothers shriek  in vain and shout”

The killer waves took playing children out,

Young lovers that embraced an hour ago,

Are now bereft in helpless grief and woe.



With every hour passing numbers rise

Of hapless  the victims of Lost Paradise.

And grandpa  howls and wails - his progeny

Was  borne by killer waves for out to sea.



Grave diggers dig and dig as fast they can

Mass graves for  babies, woman children men,

Above the  sea shores, running  many miles,

A cloudless and  azure heaven smiles.



Tsunamis hit, in spite of smiling skies,

By stealth they hit and killed, - by stealth surprise

Some search for  loved  digging  on their knees,-

Drink water  is foul and threatens with  disease.



What poet’s quill can pen the agony

Caused by the earth quake and the wily sea,

And feel and emphasize sufficiently

With  all the heartache of humanity.



Oh tried and suffering humanity!

Prey of dear mother nature’s treachery,

Betrayal, where grim reaper’s rule holds sway,

Have pity on them all dear Lord we pray!
