A girl swept away
From her father’s arms
The great wave’s force
Overpowering her
Seizing her
From her beloved family
Who will never see
Her lovely little face
Smiling up at them

Why have you killed thousands of our countrymen
Including the innocent children and women?

known in the Philippines as Yolanda
hit the Philippines November 8th, 2013
it left hideous destruction in its path, leaving 1,774 and counting
