A Nation Laments (A Tribute to The victims of The Tsunami That Hit Japan in 2011)

As the sun was setting behind the horizon
Laughing and playing was the entire nation
Not knowing what time would bring
About their fate they did not think

Came next morning and brought along terror
There was no measure of their horror
Then came the mighty waves so gigantic
And threw the poor folk in frantic

Oh! what dear Lord did happen that day
That threw them all into dismay
The mighty waves that came gushing
Left a nation lamenting.
