Asian Tsunami: Unwanted Gift

Water is a gift of life

But generous Nature

Gave too much this time

Her Christmas gift

Was never asked for

Was never on anybody’s wish list

It was a fatal surprise

That should never have been sent

That should never have been opened

But now it is too late

For the gift cannot be returned

Cannot be refunded or exchanged

At the post-Christmas sale

Life is going cheap

In the bargain bins of Asia

Now in a sinister twist

Of the true spirit of Christmas

We have a second chance to give

Water is a gift of death

And the greedy Reaper

Took too much this time
