I'll be looking forward to reading your new book, Jan! I'm working on a screenplay; I couldn't resist! :)

Best of luck on your screenplay, Ginny!

SILENT DEADLY SMOOTH OCEANS

Sometimes it’s not so smooth
But very rude and very crude
Saying, pollute me and you’ll see?
And woe unto evil man’s hypocrisy
I will send my tsunamis far up
From your coast to your hill top
Then next I’m calm with the children
And allow others to be able fishermen
Or deliver a message to a lover or girl
In a bottle the other side of the worl’

Like a mother my vast oceans feed
Mankind with her crustaceous need
Man has polluted Mother earth already
With their poison belching machinery
He’s trying to do the same with ease
With the five oceans and many seas
His oil spills are all over
As innocent sea-life cower
Trying to float and lick
Off the black thick slick

He’s destroys everything he gets
Turtles caught in old gill nets

Sharks got tangled in fishing gear
And man continues without any fear
Man has no pity and makes no apology
For killing off the weed eating manatee
He uses the oceans like a slump
For his own waste disposal dump
Bottles, cans the bloody plastic he can’t keep
He let it go down, float and some go very deep

My rough waters as in Katrina
As you have seen in Louisiana
I showed man he can’t escape from his sins
I did went berserk and raised his old coffins
They blamed it on Bush and Katrina
But it was the wrath of Mother Nature
So many time and time again
I show man he’s going insane
Show respect to my land
Or you will join the band

A paradise to beachcombers who find their goods
Treasure of shells, stones, coins and hard woods
Which get preserved with the salt water
And become more expensive and better
Like the greenheart packed in blocks
Are used for our wharves and docks
In seawater they become more sturdy
And ideal for uses in places watery

You have deforested the trees to build your cities
As your expert pencil pushers show your frailties

The waters of the oceans and seas
Give life to boaters and shippers
Is Mother Nature’s switch
A fail safe to prevent a hitch
Most or all the riverian farms rely on this
Without my tides there would be no bliss
 
Some of us feel we have the right
Do anything cause we have might
Like our present financial depression
Like we did with our global pollution
Now we have a punctured ozone layer
And now we suffer with bad weather
We belittle the melting of the ice-cap
And end up with a very bad severe rap

Now we have unforeseen flooding
Losing crops due to weather changing
Death and destruction of our vital flora
Eruption of new viruses and extinct fauna
We are in dire need
Or else we’ll bleed
Better husbandry to value life’s worth
And protecting life here on this earth
Or we’ll go the same way without a word
Just like some frogs and the do do bird

What a great way to commemorate the anniversary of the tsunami, Norman!
