Description
The world is truly and terribly broken
waves crash ashore, erasing lives.
Is there meaning to any of it?
Why should so many have to die
for the simple reason of being there?
I wonder how I can sit here
in my chair and do nothing but watch
as the television shows images
and documents so many broken lives.
How is it fair that I should be alive
when so many that are innocent
will only live on as a memory?
Why should so many have to die
when I live without fear of such dangers?
I wonder that so many
have not come to haunt me in my sleep
or as I live day by day free
of the misery visited on their broken lives.
In my shame I cannot help but weep
when so many that are innocent
will only live on as a memory.
No one should have to die
for the simple reason of being there.
But I no longer wonder about it;
When I look into my own life
I know I am just as wretched as they;
I am no different for I also live a broken life.
I know that I have not suffered as they
but I am still just as wretched
and will someday live on as a memory.
I will also someday die
for simply being who I am.
There is no reason to wonder,
there is no mystery to life at all;
The meaning of life is what we make of it
even if all we will ever has is a broken life.

Very nice words - words of sadness and self-knowledge! We can only think of these people, provide them with our wishes and closer together. Let us share with them the little - we still have enough.

Devastation far worse than war, which is selective. But quakes and tsunamis are not selective, they take all. I pray for these poor people that God have mercy and help them recover swiftly. Thank you for your moving post.
