Tonight, I will lay down comfortably.
You may not even have a home.
Tonight, I had a few moments to think of things that I cherished.
Everything was ripped away from you, in an instant.
Tonight, I was irritated knowing I had a "Busy Day" ahead of me in the morning.
You don't even know if you will make it until the morning.
Tonight, I didn't return that phone call because I was tired. It could wait, until tomorrow.
You never had the chance to say goodbye.
Tonight, my food wasn't "to my liking" so.. I threw it out.
You're starving.
Tonight, I realized.. you are stronger and wealthier than I.
You're tired and crying, but fighting. Unsure if you'll make it to tomorrow, and even if you do.. It could end all over again.
I'm weeping inside, for you.
Be strong, hold on..
If you can..

This is a very touching post. I assume it has something to do with the situation in Japan? It could be anywhere in the world though, because these fighters occur in all places where the lights are dimmed.
ReplyDeleteI too weep for these people and I can only hope that they will see a better tomorrow.
The world is a scary place right now. And for those who stayed behind, and have basically accepted their end trying to "repair" these reactors..
ReplyDeleteI feel that nothing I could ever try to do, would be as selfless as what they are doing.
So yes, it is entirely about Japan.
I aggreee. We shouldn't say that they've accepted their end though. We shouldn't say that at all. We should be sending them shitloads of hope. If there is a God, he/she/it/ will reward them for this.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the reward is just knowing that no matter the outcome, they changed something. In some way. In whatever way..
