What Have You Done to Them?

Don’t linger behind the phrases of shame

behind the blame

you have thrown God ’s creation

into the wrath of the tsunami

killed them.

On the edges of the abyss

behind trees and rocks

they fell safe

You sent them the sotn-hail

they had to save themselves

in their Blood.

Where could they flee to

God’s children

which globe could hold their lives?
