Stats
The December Asian Tsunami
devasted thousands of
communities.
This is the story of one small girl and why she shouldn't become a statistic

Alone again
your tears do not stop
your sad brown eyes
do not cease their endless
search for a kind,
remembered face.
No one
forces you to talk now,
to tell the world
of the horror of it all
No one feeds you
no one cares.
Tomorrow
or the next day
some one may come
always there is that hope
that tiny spark
to light another
dark and lonely night.
You do not sleep
closing your eyes
they are dissolved again
drowned in your tears
their faces pleading
for your survival.
Run, run!
Do not look back
mother, father
sister,brothers
do not look back.
Fifty years from now
or tomorrow,
your face will be forgotten
by the world.
The horror of your seventh year
a statistic
remembered only as comparison.
