The sun glitters harmoniously on the sky blue curling waves,
The palm trees sway to the soulful tune of the birds that flock the tropical skies,
Scattered all over the golden sands of heaven, sun-kissed holidaymakers adorn the peacefulness,
Whilst the locals chit chatter amongst themselves, without the slightest care in the world.
The sheer beauty of the islands captured as a breathtaking sight to see by the human eye,
Whod have even imagined that all this would be pulverised in a matter of minutes?
Waves of enlightened happiness soon to be slaughtered by forces of nature,
The perfect paradise they all once knew will no longer remain to exist.
Ignorance blinds the governments, wrapped up too much in their self-belief that everything is fine,
Warnings being outspoken to and fro yet everyone turns a deaf ear,
People dumb-stricken to the torment and excruciating pain it will cause,
Here it comes, the three waves of their destiny, about to destroy all mankind.
The grief is so numb yet the hurt is as intense as a lightening bolt,
The exotic paradise has now disintegrated into an intolerable landscape of Hell,
Locals own unique exquisite palaces torn down into pile upon pile of ruins,
Families separated by deaths, the shock will haunt their relatives forever.
A cemetery of bodies lay stone cold, strewn all over the streets people walk on,
Normality has turned into an unbearable nightmare for everyone to see,
Disease overrides the air, spreading like the plague vastly,
Knelt down on her knees, a woman is praying her son will return to her side.
Although they may think they are wounded for life, the wounds will slowly begin to fade,
But for now I pray and think of all the sufferers of this terrible tragedy,
The ruins still remain temporarily, but the memories will be deeply etched into their minds,
I hope for them one day that they can rebuild their lives even though it will never be the same.
