[bodytext] =>  Fifty men attend the crippled plant By hughe earthquake and Tsunami struck, That destroyed their cherished Fatherland. While they work and toil against the clock. Note! they have the job the deadliest, From the outside world cut off, Braving radiation,- grope and test To save lives, with dedicated .love! Lo! to save the life of fellowman,- The hard stricken people near and far, - Last defence of stoic proud Japanl 'Gainst dread radiation nuclear. In their flashlight's' weak and matted glow They toil on, heroically brave, Samurai virtue on their brow,- And determined fellow man to save. More disasters looming - low they crawl In the freightening darkness to head off Meltdown of the fuel rods-- their call And their mission is to save - bids LOVE. All they come ijncontact with and touch Can bring death, but oh! - they persevere Helped by flashlight in their gruelling watch Overcoming challenge, doubt and fear. Inept jumpsuits and too flimsy a mask Shield their bodies insufficiently But they carry on their deadly task To impede yet more catastrophy We ignore what is the faith and creed Of this team heroically brave, But prepared they are their God to meet Who can not but likewise love and save. We know nothing of their family Nor their background and their loved ones' lot, But as champion in such tragedy They must certainly be close to God (c) Elizabeth Dandy [comments] => 2 [counter] => 144 [topic] => 8 [informant] => Elizabeth_Dandy [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 7 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AmericanTragedy )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
