Tokyo Tsunami. Poem by David Boyce

Tokyo Tsunami.

The tsunami was so vicious
Many did not survive
But those who were lucky
Are still fighting to stay alive

Many homes just swept away
In the tsunami tidal wave
With so little warning
No time for them to be saved

So many families are devastated
Due to so many lived lost
The numbers will hit the thousands
As Tokyo counts the cost

Vehicles and boats ruined
Buildings cut in half
A tidal wave of many tons
Demolishing everything in its path

Our thoughts go out to Tokyo
Because their loss will be so high
As they gather up the remains
Of the thousands who have died
