Merely the Ocean
September 14, 2018
If I had emotions, they would be raging.
If I had thoughts, they would drive me mad.
If I could control myself, I would halt…
But I cannot,
For I am merely a Tsunami.
If I had a conscious I would marvel at the wonders I am destroying,
At the people that were drowning.
If I had curiosity I would be astonished
By the miracles occurring
At the lives being saved
At the companionship being shown.
If I were smaller,
If I were human.
I would stare in wonder at the small acts of kindness,
Of person saving person
Animal saving animal,
Of a small monkey saving a tiny dog.
But I do not notice, I cannot.
For I am merely a tsunami.
I am merely a tsunami-the ocean’s rage incarnate.
Whipped into a frenzy by the HOWLING winds.
I am merely a tsunami-the ocean’s wrath unchained.
Shaken into a rage by the QUAKING earth.
I am merely the ocean, blind and unfeeling..
I am merely the ocean, all encompassing and powerful.
I am merely the ocean, ignorant of the things I destroy.
I am merely the ocean, unknowing of the lives I ruin.
For I am merely the ocean.
