Japan – The Petition – Mar 15,2011
Cherry blossoms and lotus petals
Mount Fuji
Samurai warriors and emperors many
One of the Pacific’s beautiful pearls
Tragedy strikes even the prepared
Breaks the back of the strongest man
Blindsides the thoughtful
Wipes out the most airtight plan
Earth shakes and the stones cry out
Ground leaps and buckles under your shoes
The sea rages and buries your cries
Strong against the earth but to Tsunami you lose
Our sadness and weeping cannot mend
Our sorrow cannot stop the melting cores
May our prayers go up before God
And may they as sweet balm heal your sores
Dear God, our creator and Lord
Have mercy on our fellow man
Give ear to our petitions
And with loving care lift up fallen Japan
