tsunami and submergence

beneath the surface faults are stirring

and shifts occur

the body under pressure

the rise and fall

of ocean waters

subducting or overriding plates

create the wave

the rise and fall

of civilizations

they are bred in ignorance of placement

drown in the wave

tempestuous and turbulent

the currents rip apart the world

the body swells and saunters

it conquers

the rise and fall

of ocean waters

subducting or overriding plates

create the wave

the rise and fall

of civilizations

they are bred in ignorance of placement

drown in the wave

wiping out everything around its surroundings

wiping out everyone found under the thundering

crash in a flash

whipped and lashed by wind and water

slaughtered by what once nurtured

caught in submergence

painted by the colors of the currents

drowned and gone

lost in the ocean

drowned and gone

lost and forgotten
