Unimaginable



UNIMAGINABLE
You never know what God has planned,
We can't imagine or even understand,
Life and love what we value much,
Catastrophes and trauma we dare not touch!

A massive earthquake and tsunami's rare,
States of emergencies that countries share,
Death and destruction whatever is lost,
Impossible to speculate or consider the cost!!!

InNew Zealandand nowTokyoJapan,
Who can contemplate or even plan?
Eight point nine on the Ritcher Scale,
Most known contingencies are bound to fail.

ThePacificBasinand around the coast,
            Evacuate be prepared do your utmost,
Try to avoid any suffering and stress,
Do what's necessary to make damage less.

Millions now homeless buildings in flames,
Farmlands swept away later insurance claims,
Rescuing any survivors and counting the dead,

Follow the media then visualise what's read.

I find it is a good way to record events of the day and bring history to life.The mental aspect is a balance against keeping fit,work and life in general. more…
