will we learn?





A woman waves
As the helicopter flies by
Another woman climbs out
Standing on the roof top of tiles


On the ground the flood water
Rushing out reaching for souls
Emptying the houses nearby
Damaging crops and properties


The floods on the heavy rain
The rising tides and the worrying faces
Nature bring her dissatisfaction
The marks she will give us to remember


It can be any country
Today it is in Japan
Tomorrow another place
We have to learn of our sins


There are reasons
Don't blame the bad weather
Don't blame the wind
Our sins we have to mirror inwards


Today the helicopters fly
Surveying the floods
Looking for trapped people
But tomorrow will we learn?
