I was just a small child,
though from a very poor family,
I had two brothers and a sister,
but we did live happily
My father was a fisherman,
catching fish every day,
to feed his family best he could,
he knew no other way
We lived in a village,
one day disaster struck,
'twas in Thailand in Phuket,
the tsunami came, we had no luck
My whole family was wiped out,
the only one left was I,
all my friends were also lost,
and all I could do was cry
I wished that I had also died,
then all of us would still be together,
but why was god so uncaring,
why was I left to suffer?
this is a fictional piece to reflect similar real conditions of the 2004 tsunami which was one of the deadliest in history. The tsunami created gigantic tidal waves originating in the Indian ocean and spreading world wide to 14 countries with a death toll of more than 200,000
