The humbling of man without his self imposed "Superiority"!


Poem Artwork





In the beginning was the Word and the Word was Survival !

Beneath the differences of dress,

customs, faith, skin colour

class ,and status

when the Tsunami struck that dreadful day

all were involved

all were being consumed by the hundreds

Indeed ,the great waves

unleashed in it's massive fury

of destruction relentlessly

devouring all, both rich and poor,

in it's ruthless path,

reducing egotistical man 

to no more ,no less


than another desperate animal


struggling for survival in this cold

indifferent world.

this is a fantastic write my friend.

I die, you die, we all die
"sooner or later"
the reaper favors none
in color, creed nor rank
To him, we are all just game.

William .....Peace & love
