Earthquake in Indonesia
x
Pray for the souls
Of victims
Dead and living
And the
In-between
We don’t understand the hundreds
Because we are not there
We’ve seen pictures
These are not enough
What would we see for real?
What would we smell?
What would we taste?
What would we be allowed
To touch
And whom?
And all the misery
We’d hear
From the keening of the living
And the demons overhead
And underground
That scream a victory
x
Nature is corrupted
We’re claiming the win
