two poems written after the tsunami in Japan earlier in the year.
For Japan we weep. From the safety of my home I watch Scenes of natures horror Engulfing coast with horrific vigour Ripping lives apart The oncoming sea A wave 35 ft of terror Relentless in its forward march Removing mans mark from the world Leaving dark brown nothingness And the lives of many in tatters Destruction continues after its passing Stations on coastlines in disarray Meltdown a risk A danger many say A tragedy 3 fold continues From trembling earth To seas might And then onto man’s nuclear plight Our thoughts are with you Japan we weep For your lost ones This terrible week. A poem by T Monk. |
DARKNESS RISES Darkness falls over earths blue sky Warnings from mans nuclear child The darkness rises From reactors cores that breech Sending the darkness in To mans soul at sleep This Nuclear fear That man has created See’s no sign of abating So worried look on the common man Looking for reassurance for a scientific land They say its safe But is it so When earth moves and water shows How quickly science crumbles and fails Swept away by natures flails Leaving plants in disarray Spewing radiation every day This nuclear child’s temper is rising Fear behind mans controlling liaison It must work Control the beast Before sets forth and reaps its Nuclear feast.
