Two Poems from our Tributes, Memorials Poetry Collection

 
 
TSUNAMI ON BOXING DAY
   
Author: Sharee Alder
   
Poem:
TSUNAMI ON BOXING DAY
   
  Seeing people in the disaster, all in one,
The next minute they're all gone.
They held on for as long as they could,
Whilst others stood there, disturbed in the mud.
It's hard to take in that so many people are dying,
And young children are left with no mother, crying.
Somehow we as a team will try to think about them suffering out there,
And how we can send our love and care.
Victims who have lost there mums, dads, sisters and brothers,
Are all working together to help others.
The search will go on for weeks. Seeing people look through the rubble and to see their faces droop to see what they have found.
Many injured people can be made able again with your help of a pound.
People wonder if there will ever be an end to this day,
Terrifying, and unearthly, is what most people will say.
They have no food or drink,
And this is the disaster which has made people think.
Everything has been destroyed, even their home,
Which was no fault of their own.
Bodies laid scattered on the ground,
Whilst others investigate what they have found.
Children and adults try to hold back their fears,
But many people look for their family with streaming tears.
We all wish this were just a nightmare,
but then we awake, and wonder why life is never fair.

THE POWER OF ONE
   
Author: Adam Bilotta
   
Poem: THE POWER OF ONE
   

They had come for Jews, Slavs, and Communists
Yet no one spoke up
They had come for women and children
Yet no one said a word
Millions went missing overnight,
And millions more the next day
Yet no one questioned this
People were taken into the forest
And shot in cold blood
Yet everyone stood still
Why didn't anyone speak up?
Why did everyone wait for death
To arrive at their doorstep?
We may never know "why"
But one thing is certain--
One person could've halted it,
And everyone could've ended it
Never doubt the power on one;
For it could be the only weapon you have
