Disaster
Bodies floating in the water
Expressions fearful
Lovers frozen in each other's arms
Embraces everlasting
Blue-faced infants, crying mothers
Futures lost
Lonely men, lonely women
Forever single
Dirty-faced people in rags
Who are they?
Children in tattered clothing
Who saved them?
The world mourns the many dead
Who are someone
For how can one cry for
Those who have no names?
