Very emotional and powerfully presented. But, to play the Devi's Advocate, what good to pray to Natural forces--unless one has magickal powers. The tragedy can't be denied, of course, and it seems that mankind is so doomed: to suffer tragedy of one kind or another. This is the first of your works I've read since my head cleared, somewhat, but do I detect a subtle change in your style? Or is that what we've always done? Pray to Nature, that is?

Hi Raja,
Wasn't that a tragic thing that happened in Japan? Good things seem to come from tragedies that happen. One thing I learned is how honest and respect full the Japanese people are. No looting or stealing, and very respectful of the others, helping each out as much as they can. We and others have much to learn,verses about our ways from these fine people. Nice write..God Bless, Mae

Like an alive, evil monster nature displays its
ugly face when it must.
I shutter to think that God had much to do with this latest chapter in destruction and death. However, was it not He who created all living things; the power behind gravity and physics?
Nature is but a result of inhabiting this place or any other. And, maybe He can control it. Maybe He did -- and it could have been worse. You have intestinal fortitude to examine this brutal result, brother. The cause is probably all of us and the cosmos put together. What without humans, the earth simply would have morphed into a slightly different shape and violence would not have existed, right? We invented it by eating that damn apple.
Nice, gutsy write, brother-- and you felt enough etiquette about it to force a poetic wrath against nature, an ever-looming monster in its beauty. Yours is An American Beauty - seen world-round and in non fiction. I praise the piece. Kudos. - Alan

Very sad what's happening in Japan and this poem reminds me of after a tragedy, how people tend to find comfort in a someone's written words, especially one that captures the depth of death incurred. Interesting read Raja.
