Mother Ocean!
in your lap
We floated with dream – but
Why did you become the god of death and
Take our lives?
what is the myth behind
you taking lives of
our mothers, babies who can’t speak,
grand mothers and grand fathers who lived for us,
uncles and aunties and
younger and older brothers?
when we were energetically beginning our morning
you destroyed us unexpectedly.
Mother Ocean, who guarded the poor’s life,
Why did you kick us hard this time?
where is the house we built?
where is the temple we worshipped?
where are the people who were surrounding us?
after everything you did
why are you sleeping now?
When we were living
Like the wood destroyed by the termites,
Mother Nature! Why have you showed us your evil side
And traumatized us?
We thought we were the only ones without relatives
but now you made everyone like us too.
No matter how much devastation is put on us
Without a frown we will rise again
