JAPAN, WE SHARE YOUR GRIEF
An 8.9-magnitude earthquake hit off the east coast of Japan last March 11, 2011. The quake — one of the largest in recorded history — triggered a 23-foot tsunami that battered Japan’s coast, killing hundreds and sweeping away cars, homes, buildings, and boats.
Manifesting Wave
By: Adam M. Snow
A day ends short when lives are lost,
On this blackened noon, death be the cost.
Manifesting wave crash down on hopes and dreams,
All is gone, so it seems, so it seems.
Some are lost and never found,
Some still shocked of the quaking ground.
Many without homes to keep them safe,
Many in terror and children’s now waif.
Families and strangers comes together,
Crying shoulders, mourns the day after.
Hatred becomes love and enemies becomes friends,
On this day of terror to be remembered till the end.
