ebb and flow
this is how the ocean goes.
shake and quake,
rip and tear,
the solid earth grows and wears.
like our lives which suddenly go
ocean waves
can suddenly grow.
pressure flux,
from a sudden slip
manifested itself
in Poseidon's grip.
waves of death
rushed to shore
southeast asia,
dozens more.
shallow water,
beaches,
land near shore,
felt what started
on the ocean floor.
love, convenience, need,
millions, millions,
come to the oceans
to live and breed
sunrise, sunsets
relaxing and exciting
so many reasons
that they are inviting
thousands betrayed
yesterday, this time,
washed and drowned
ocean love their crime.
