Sea
Gigantic waves
Of yours
Jumped over
The city wall
In the twinkling
Of an eye and
Rushed back taking
Loads of ours
Making the City
A place of mourn
And anguish

Still offspring
Mourn for parents
Parents mourn
For children
Some are benumbed
Over you,

Kovils and temples,
Wherein the guardians
Of ours exist
Remain Unharmed
Yet ours are no more
For the rest in peace
Sea,
Still you remain
Calmly though
You’re the force
Behind the
Devastation
Sea, how
Could you be so?
In presence of
Azure sky and
The shining sun,
You took away
The ones who
Loved you most
You took away
The ones who
Cared and nurtured
You most

Sea,
How cruel
You are?
How destructive
You are?
How unfeeling
You are?

Sea,
What’ve we
Done wrong
To be annihilated
This way
Giving more
Tribulations
To generations
To come?

Sea,
Nobody
Admires your
Elegance, majesty
As they did before
Though they want
To do so
For you’ve
Taken away
Our contentment,
Aspirations and all

Sea,
You are no more
The preserver or
Guardian of
Ours
Yet the
Destroyer, killer,
Devastator,
And all
Sri Lanka was badly affected by the Tsunami tidal waves. It took away over 35,000 lives.
