RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CATASTROPHES
Taiwan Quake
We have so many manmade tragedies
We forget that nature has her own
The earth will quake, the wind will moan
The sea will rise, we will atone
And they will rouse our sympathies
Though they are far from home
In the shadow of a fearful beast
Taiwan suffers disproportionately
Though they endure it graciously
With modesty and dignity
Their fear looks to the east
Across the China Sea
A quake has hit them hard
They must turn to us for aide
Though their character is staid
Reparations must be made
We must hold them in our regard
Until the terror fades
At times like this we will remember
We are all in this together
Like birds of a certain feather
Through every kind of weather
From the first of January to December
To help is our endeavor
