Palu, Pretty Town Of The Peaceful Peninsula.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

The Prologue:
Written to finish these poems
"Luister" and "Listen"
they had been waiting for me
for seven long days,
I had not had time yet to finish them
busy continuing with creating
so true, nothing happens,
but the Lord showeth me this....

The Essay-Poem:
What happens to Sweetest Sulawesi,
if one can not listen, is this:

Sulawesi, the Peaceful Peninsula,
alongside the Cool Kalimantan Peninsula,
both in Indonesia,
east region of the Republica
a sudden Tsunami occurred there,
the workers just turned off the registration device,
these officials did not think that it would be necessary,
there will be no Tsunami coming, they said to each other,
these government people/workers,
who had the duty to be at the coastal guard
at that most important moment,
they turned off that implement,
whether a Tsunami would come or not,

now they could go altogether to the beach
to prepare the coming festivity that evening
the whole police squadron, the youth
and almost all inhabitants of the peaceful peninsula
are making themselves ready
for the cozy feast at the beach....

when all of a sudden there was a Tsunami
rapidly the waves became nine meters high
and with that very strong wind that came
straight from the sea

we could count one victim,
one inhabitant lost in the fervent liquid
the ardent aqua upon Sulawesi´s lovely flora
blue breezing barren liquid of the Peaceful Peninsula

that one victim had multiplied
in a few seconds, he/she have become over the 400´s.

The coastal guard did not listen to what God said
they have turned off the Tsunami tools
truly God said to them: you all must have been fools

if you cannot listen anymore like Adam and Eve
in the most beautiful Garden on Earth in Eden
you have to do all by yourselves now,
you are all lost in your own domain and how!

hath I said, "you are all lost? "
don´t worry, my loved ones, as usual
I commit one more charity call
help is on its way, it´s from the Red Cross....

The Epilogue:
This is my testimony about
what God hath said unto them
the pretty people of the peaceful peninsula
east of The Republic of Indonesia.



LATEST NOTE: Most buildings are collapsed, but the Church still stands tall, one of God´s Greatest Wonders in Palu-.SEE THE PICTURE, PLEASE
The Tsunami that occurred in Palu, a peaceful place on the Pretty Peninsula Sulawesi, the latest news just heard: the victims have increased now till over the 800 people.
