Disasters, tsunamis ravaged the land
hundreds dead some buried in water and sand
the earth filled with blood where innocence and corruption died
yet there are monsters with no respect
they post on facebook that these victims deserved to die
because their god decided they are sinners, and i
recall that their god, they like to use, to accuse
preferred to sit with sinners, not with holy-than-thou pigs
i ask you with tears running down my cheeks
is it really a god that is responsible for this dirty trick
i say it is mankind that destroy all the trees
and the coral reefs
but we love our sacrilege and blame our gods
whether we are Pagan or Muslim or Christians sods
the answer to the destruction we are ashamed to admit
we, humanity, we are the monsters from the pit

this poem is not against religion, but against those that said it was God’s punishment that caused the tsunamis in the East…. If we do not take care of nature coral reefs die out, and they are a natural defence against tsunamis, or bees die, and bees are needed to pollinate plants and plants are needed to give us oxygen… do the maths… To blame a god is sacrilege… humanity is the monsters on this earth
