Tsunami

As the ground starting shaking
And the windows were breaking
The sky bared it’s colours
The sun disappeared
What you felt in the air
Was terribly worrying
And all this was happening
Just everywhere

Fear it was cloying
The levies were out there
5 metres high
Nothing alas
When the sea started coming
It just was brain numbing
Homes were like matchwood
All this on mass

The ocean rolled forward
The whole lot that day
Boats in the harbour
And out in the bay
Were picked up and carried
Into the town
Picked up like toys
And just crashed on down

In seconds the speed of it
Foundations were snapped
Torn down and pushed
Cracked smacked and wrapped
Around other buildings
The sounds in the air
The dust and the clouds
Of blood and despair

A curtain of chaos
Sirens and bells
Cars rolling over
One of the hells
Spoken of somewhere
Suddenly we
Could see it in front of us
For that’s where it be

So many people
Were just washed away
Lives torn a sunder
On that March day
Those who could get up to higher ground
They
Were able to look down
Were able to say

And see all the carnage
And just know the pain
The murdering winds and what
Was just insane
And this great serpent carried
On snagging along
Bursting with debris
It was clearly wrong

It came up the rivers
Corrupted and crashed
Onto the school yard
Where more souls were bashed

Women and children
Were just washed away
And arm in the air
And gone in the grey
Soup that was writhing and bubbling so
Filled with broken bodies
On that darkest of day

People were tangled in fences and crushed
Broken in pieces as the serpent rushed
Back up stream through houses down alleys too
Put incredible strength and just push it through
Very few people got out of the way
Japan became hell
And the people did pay

The force of nature
The karmic debt
The bloody evil
It all just seemed set
The waters were rising
The telephone lines
Were falling all over
Clearly the signs

Were terrible
This was unbelievable now
You couldn’t have dreamed this
Really now how
Could we ever forget
As we would come to terms
With the great serpent
Weaving its way full of worms

Pulsating and swerving
And so unnerving
Now as we witnessed
One hell of a squall
The rain fell
The sky fell
Walls crashing walls smashing
Cars thrown every which way
By the force of it all

Death and destruction
Vacuum and suction
Mangled and torn
Why had we been born
To witness this evil
This ugly this dastardly
Like ants we were lost
In what was the new dawn

Washed out to sea
Thousands and thousands
Silenced that day
Their lives lost and gone
Clinging to rigging
Really the frigging storm
Took a great toll
On what was upon

The elderly and the sweet children
In prams
Torn from their parents arms
Battering rams
Cut into their bodies
The devil he came
Ravaged the spirit
No one will be the same

Nature was angry
It’s temper was vile
And it swung into March
With a strength off the dial
It was taken for granted
The levvies would hold
But nothing was ready
As the waves just rolled

No one was ready
Nobody knew
The force of the waves
How it burst through
Those on higher ground
Well they got away
But the rest were engulfed
And died they did pay

Japan living close to the ocean
Some knew
Following an earthquake
A tsunami was due
They were the lucky ones they got away
The rest died a death
On that horrible day
When the gods and the goddesses
Hoped to remind
The world don’t Fuck with us
For we are not blind
