BOB Posted January 17, 2005 I couldn't afford to donate millions of dollars like many people around the world have, i couldn't afford to fly down there and be one of those volunteer rescue workers but i felt your pain just as much and i donated my time and energy just to write about your pain & grief so the world would know what you went through. Crashing and splashing, the Indian-ocean sea is tranquil no sign of danger,everyone with dreams to fulfil the sky above blue and clear still in the heat of the day sun still shining & burning shops still stood,each one of them open traders out earning hard currency streets still crowded with lively masses tourists still out spending big plants and animals still standing proud like bees collecting honey radio stations still playing music the TV still out broadcasting programs buildings that stood for a long time they are still everlasting part of the city because not knowing what's coming people living their lives as always but still stood around and watched the world go by in front of their eyes taking for granted the number of hours that they had on this beautiful earth. Peace, Love & Unity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOB Posted January 17, 2005 As a wave rushes towards me I feared for my dear life separated from my loving family lost my beloved wife & children surrounded by violent waters buildings collapsing around me feeling like I'm in a war because I don't know if I will ever manage to get away with no harm I'll be very lucky if I make it out of here alive 20 foot tall angry & killer waves a worlds whole new discovery which even discovery channel couldn't tell the emotion of all these is so indescribable I lost my home and everything that I ever called "Mine" i know that i should go & look for my family but what can I possibly do to save my dear family when these waves are Destroying buildings and swallowing thousands of cars and lives?

BOB Posted January 17, 2005 after the disaster the smell of flesh and bodies filled the air towns destroyed and a whole country in shock dear God why me? its just not fair if only you know what it feels like to lose a whole Family in such things and in a such way,so sudden & so fast my sweet & loving wife and our three children with whom i was going to take down town to see a movie and let them enjoy themselves their corpses lay around the streets as if they were supposed to countries full of poverty stricken masses young lives taken and destroyed by the sea almost half of my country has been hit a true disaster indeed which left millions in need buildings and houses completely gone the sea swallowed everything that stood in its path I just can't believe this happened my country is in a emergency state so next time you're out spending money like it was useless piece of paper please just stop for a second and think of me & the millions of others like me who were not as fortunate as you are.

Viewer Discretion Posted January 18, 2005 It’s hard to put yourself In other peoples shoes Hard to know how they feel When you haven’t gone through what they’ve been through But If we all took the time Just for a minute…. Or maybe 2 And thought about someone else I mean…..Besides you We could stop being sympathetic Which quite frankly is pathetic :rolleyes: (Minus the sym) Put your words into action Even if it’s just a fraction And make a difference for someone We take our life for granted Don’t know how good we got it Plenty of food to eat A place to sleep And in Indonesia 1 million are struggling with poverty And got no more property Living on the streets With nothing to eat Children dead And nothing left to be said Me and you We can do Anything we want to With the right intention And a little perspiration We can help Build that Better brighter Future we always dream about And maybe have that fairytale ending That’s always talked about Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J.Lee Posted January 18, 2005 Mansha'allah Bob! and not Icon Bob....I always "jaceel" how describtive your poems are and cut to heart of the matter. It is hard to picture and often times write about events since you have put yourself in that place and that particular time, over and over again to understand what they must of been going through. Mansha'allah to both of you. Powerful Words. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
