The weeping child stands about
She looks to the skies above
She's lost her parents love
Her parents were killed in the field
That bought food for them to yield
The Tsunami plead her parents to its call
Not succumbing until they were in the waves fall
She is so alone, there's not a soul in sight
The sun sets, the moon shines bright
The little girl huddles up between the debris and dirt
Emotionally battered, feeling tired and hurt
The next day, still exhausted, she walks
All alone to herself she weeps and talks
She sings a song of bitter hate
For what has led her to this state
Her feeble body begins to give way
Slowly, slowly her life is slipping away
Sickness has spread itself through her body
In the distance she spots somebody
Hazey eyed she looks up
Her mother is holding her out a cup
She reaches out her skinny hand
Tsunami pleads her, she understands
Her life sadly slipped away
On the Tsunami ruined floors her body lays. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 170 [topic] => 51 [informant] => mina-1 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Event )

TSUNAMI'S PLEDGE

Contributed by mina-1 on Monday, 10th January 2005 @ 03:22:55 PM in AEST
Topic: Event

Hear her voice as she calls out
The weeping child stands about
She looks to the skies above
She's lost her parents love
Her parents were killed in the field
That bought food for them to yield
The Tsunami plead her parents to its call
Not succumbing until they were in the waves fall
She is so alone, there's not a soul in sight
The sun sets, the moon shines bright
The little girl huddles up between the debris and dirt
Emotionally battered, feeling tired and hurt
The next day, still exhausted, she walks
All alone to herself she weeps and talks
She sings a song of bitter hate
For what has led her to this state
Her feeble body begins to give way
Slowly, slowly her life is slipping away
Sickness has spread itself through her body
In the distance she spots somebody
Hazey eyed she looks up
Her mother is holding her out a cup
She reaches out her skinny hand
Tsunami pleads her, she understands
Her life sadly slipped away
On the Tsunami ruined floors her body lays.

I don't want to seem like a heartless and evil person but am I the only one that the tsunami didn't affect emotionaly.

I did like your writing though!!
