Remorse
What have I done
My last quake killed all
destroyed mountains
contaminated seas
ruined forests
True
I hated man’s abuse
Their arrogance
Stupidity
Insensitivity
I hated their greed
Their petty wars
Not their final demise
It was me
My anger
solved nothing
My destruction
solved nothing
Now I’m alone
Victim of my
hot headed temper
Anger served no one
Did no good
Next time
If there is a next time
I’ll practice tolerance
Live in love
Kindness
Compassion
If there is a next time
I’ll practice tolerance
Live in love
Kindness
Compassion
