Racing tsunamis <br />Bring an old type of death, <br />Killing with drowning, <br />And smashing out breaths. <br /> <br />At first it was news, <br />12,000 it blew, <br />And then it was shocking, <br />50,000 they knew, <br />Then unbelievable, <br />100,000 it grew. <br /> <br />How can the relief <br />Save the masses from grief? <br />Will all the money <br />Bring back their beliefs? <br />Or will bitter set in <br />And hate hold strong <br />Through an unbelievable week, <br />Unbelievably long? <br /> <br />It's a second hand effort, <br />This helping the needy, <br />The second hand thought: <br />Not Americans bleeding. <br /> <br />So disgusted and drained <br />With nothing to do, <br />I pray the lord’s prayer, <br />With death as my muse.<br /><br />Sandra Osborne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unbelievable/
