Human Spirit

Each calamity
a nation suffers
brings tragedy
amid despair:
earth explodes
waves crash
cataclysmic moments
written into
history books;
broken bodies,
buried, innocent
families fragile
left to suffer;
yet voices
of children
are forged,
as we begin again.
Confusion causes
tension, panic,
without moments
like these
we stagnate:
fail to face
our differences,
our pinches
prejudices,
all move forward
the human spirit
never dies.
