Fukushima 2011
A poem by
Sandeep Palakkal
Man said:
We've discovered science, we've developed technology,
We've invented medicine. Oh mighty we! We're invincible!
We've ruled the world, and now, we're creating our own worlds!
A world full of amusements, where we're all happy.
As I was watching him with great admiration,
An earthquake occurred,
Which nearly destroyed the world that Man had created.
And a tsunamy stripped him off of almost all his achievements.
And, worst of all, the complete meltdown.
He'd science, he had technology, and he had medicine.
He'd created a new world, but
He'd forgotten the best of all his treasures.
He'd forgotten to sing!
He'd lost his poetry!
