And The World Rocked…


And the world rocked in devastation,
The people cry out in pain!
Shocked at the death toll and destruction,
Crying and wailing driven almost insane!
Families wiped out in minutes,
Hearts are torn into bits…
Fear like no other on earth,
As the massive earthquake hits!

Aimlessly wandering around,
Searching the bodies for their kin,
Whilst still in shock – they don't stop,
Their hopes becoming thin!
Bodies lay all over the floor,
Death came upon the land…
Quickly seized the people…
And no-one can understand…

Why this happened, this devastation,
And why so many people have died,
And all over the world, in shock,
Many of the people have cried…
Tears in abundance,
An ocean of pain and fear,
As deep as the wide sea that took them,
And the reason is just not clear!

Why do disasters happen?
And why, oh why so much grief!
Tears that fill the sea of time,
Lives taken, like a thief!
Too much pain, too much shock,
And a heartache that will never cease!
The world rocked on its foundations;
Will there ever be a time when it will cease?

The foundations tore at many a heart,
For many lives were taken!
People in shock at the aftermath,
And the people all forsaken!
No, the heartache will never go,
The people will forever cry…
Broken hearts the world over…
And the unanswered question – why?

...May They Rest In Peace...
