footsteps wiped clean  from the shore
by the tsunami
where birds used to sing and children felt loved
the tsunami

the tsunami of deceit
the tsunami

we know

it was we who done it!
WE!

the tsunami of self conceit

that hit the shore where birds and children
died hopelessly loveless

the tsunami!!
you know

yes THAT tsunami
yes
this the very one

this very tsunami
of blame

of assaulting the numb working class people
by corporate  powers
so powerful it is incomprehensible to us

so we let the birds and the children die

rather than face the shame

of being numb and dumb and guilty

of letting birds and children die

without our love

our hopeless love
