Bombing fault lines



Did the seal cause an explosion underneath,
The sea, causing fish to jump, scaring the birds,
Making rats, cats and dogs to run beneath,
for hills, Before man could put it to words
Causing havoc all over the dry land,
With what we men call a great tsunami
Was the eagle giving the seal the command,
Neither one of which a kama kazi.
like the great waves of world wars in past,
Fish flopped on ground,easy meals for the birds,
Of the mice and the men the mice would last,
Are such allegations truly absurd?
Some ran, some swam, some drown, some even pray,
And man's death toll was high that fatal day.
