The earth shook
Japan knocking it to its collective knees
Building collapsed under the weight
Of Tsunami’s
And the threat of nuclear holocaust
Tens of thousands dead
Burried under the rubble
Or drowned in the sea
But in the mids of the tragedy
A miracle
The image of a baby girl reunited
With her Father
Surviving under the Rubble!

Written After the Earthquake in Japan
In some not so far away Land
The Earth Shook
Knocking a nation to
It’s knees
Taking lives
By the the tens of thousand.
Destruction everwhere
Signs of hope
In the rubble and ashes.
Billions and Billions of dollars in
Damage
But you can’t put a price
On Lives and loves lost
Under the wait of buildings
Or wiped out to sea
By Tsunami’s.

They are fighting a new war
Not on some foreign shore
But in our own backyard
In Joplin and Tuscalosa and
So many places
Hit by this enemy
Stronger than an arsenal of guns
Perhaps?
Two hundred a mile hour winds
Can destroy
Lives, building
Anything in its path
And now the heros
Begin to emerge
Heros who risked their lives
Saving and protecting others.
Happy Memorial day we utter
But lets remember those who
Are fighting this war
In Our backyards.
