The crust heaves� buildings collapse � people in tears� Nature strikes again. The earth cries out in pain. People run in panic, burdened with new fears The old nightmare returns again and again. Who can wipe the tears, who can alley the fear? Who can assure the fearful and the wounded, When disaster strike twice and so very near N� life and property mercilessly pounded? No amount of help can wipe off the bloodstain, No money can buy for the injured souls balm� The fear and uncertainty surely remain And only the fickle ocean returns to calm� � P. J. Oszmann (March 2005) Illustration: Photomontage from BBC & CBC News photographs.

An alerting wise message in "Nature strikes again" can be read by heedful eyes.

I have learned from this outstanding writing; a composition
that stimulates observation on matters of Nature, and leads
the reader to think on Justice. "Nature strikes again" is a
Voice of wisdom in poetic excellence.
