9.0 Mega Quake Tsunami

What words can reveal
The grief I feel.

I watch in horror
Fire on water
9.0 mega quake tsunami
Terror
Before I can swallow sushi
Reeling from NHK aerial film
On CNN breaking news on my computer.

Friday March 11,2011
2.46 p.m. Tokyo time
It hits Japan and the world.

From epicenter 130 kilometers (81 miles)
In the sea 32 kilometers deep
East of Sendai
Miyagi Prefecture
On Honshu Northeastern Japan
It surges awesome
In force and momentum.

Can memory cold recall
What fear and pity
It evokes for all
Seeing tsunami
Sweeping wiping all
Within its reach
In minutes.

Who can withstand
10 meters (33 feet) waves
Towering roaring fleet
Like a great avalanche
Huge whirlpool mowing pulling
Anything away.

All we call
And hold dear
Can be no more.

Gone without a clue
Devastated on land and sea.

In calm contemplation
In retrospection
We see
Many forms graphic images
Surreal reality of life's
Fragility.

We see faces
Ignoring useless baggage
Clutter flutter
Thrown up by circumstance.

No more weighty or vital.
No better than burdensome
Temporal toys and things.

Ah,worldly things.
All vain glory
In one's transitory journey
On earth.

Japan's most powerful earthquake
Offers new lessons.

It has moved Honshu
2.4 meters (eight feet)
Closer to North America.

It has shifted
The earth on its axis
By nearly 10 centimeters.

Latest live updates
Show nuclear emergency
As workers race against time
To cool reactors with sea water
Struggling to stop radiation leaks
At the crippled Fukushima Daiichi
Nuclear power station.

Three blasts have rocked
The power plant.
Three nuclear reactors
are on the verge of meltdown.

Japan's Prime Minister Naoto Kan
Has urged anyone still
Within 20-30 kilometers radius
Around the power plant
To stay indoors
to minimize radioactive exposure.

The Japanese government
Has imposed no-fly zone
over the area.

The gravity of looming nuclear crisis
Has sent the Tokyo Stock Exchange
Plunging steeply by more than 16 percent
These two days.

Help Japan
In its toughest time
And darkest hour.

Hundred of big aftershocks
Like the one of more than six magnitude
Continue to shake the shocked sufferers.

So please
Extend a helping hand
To ease the pain,suffering
Distress.

Via mercy,sympathy and empathy
Kindly offer help
To give relief
Succour,comfort,solace - LOVE!

In warm embrace
We understand
The GRACE
Of LOVE,LIGHT LIFE!

We share
The meaning - benign face -
Of real global humanity.

We can together HELP
Diminish the unhappiness
Easing the strain bane
Sadness
Of the devastating tragedy
Via the goodness kindness
Boon of uncondititional
Universal LOVE!

Help Japan
Learn to live
In Grace
In all simplicity
Humility and humanity!

THE WAY OF GRACE

Always remember
THE WAY OF GRACE...

From NOW
Onwards practice
MAGNANIMITY
in VICTORY
and exercise
TEMPERANCE
in ABUNDANCE.

Transform ENEMIES
into FRIENDS
with LOVING KINDNESS
overlooking their lapses.

FORGIVE and FORGET
the foibles and failings
due to human folly
for few human beings
are PERFECT!

The fire and force
of severe criticism
done in public
can cause dreadful
damage and embarrassment.

The world will be
a happier place
when harsh reprimands are
done in private.

So be kind enough
to show TACT
in FRATERNITY
that ENDEARS and ENCHANTS.

Be the FORCE
That PROMOTES,
STRENGTHENS and ENHANCES
PEACE,HARMONY,TOLERANCE
AND MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING
GLOBALLY.

And be wise right
NOW to instil THRIFT
IN ECONOMY
to ensure
SELF-SUFFICIENCY
Via Prudent and Pragmatic
SELF-RULE,
SELF-DISCIPLINE,
SELF-CULTIVATION and
SELF-IMPROVEMENT.

Always remember
THE WAY OF GRACE!

The Snow In Spain

The snow in Spain
falls heavy on the plain.

This harsh winter of discontent
it is falling cold,thick and deep
like wild tigers and wolves.

The cold spell is freezing
right from Siberia,northern China
to Europe.

Temperatures are minus 20 degree Centigrade
in Scotland.

Many homeless hopeless
sufferers are frozen dead
in Poland.

Schools and shops have shuttered
and vehicles are moving like snails
in the heavy snowfalls and freezing fog.


Flights are disrupted,cancelled and
rescheduled as airports closed and reopened.

Trains are grounded with Eurostar
cancelling high speed train services
to and fro London,Paris and Brussels.

This weekend Spain flashed
emergency as air traffic controllers
walked away from their posts
in historic wildcat strike
on Friday(Dec.3,2010).

The mass "sick" leave strike
staged by the Syndicate Union of Air Controllers
over working conditions,working hours and benefits
paralysed Spain
causing chaos
as the air space
closed,flights cancelled
and passengers stranded
in Madrid,Barcelona
and elsewhere.

The upset Spanish government
cried "blackmail"
and declared unprecedented
new state of emergency
sending the military to take control
of airport control towers and
reopened the closed air space
at 3.30 p.m. Saturday.

This was done by Spain's Cabinet
led by Prime Minister
Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero
at an emergency meeting
to declare the state of emergency
lasting 15 days - more than 30 years
after democracy and death of
dictator General Francisco Franco
in 1975.

The air traffic controllers
returned to work under military watch
for fear of prosecution and imprisonment
under Spain's military law.

In sharp contrast,massive forest wildfires
are raging in northern Israel killing
at least 42 people and sending thousands
of victims fleeing from their homes around
the Carmel mountain range overlooking
Haifa.

And in the southern hemisphere,
floods have hit Miranda State in northern
Venezuela and regional towns in New South Wales
in Australia.

The Murrumbidgee River is due to burst
its banks in Wagga Wagga.

Meanwhile,experts are putting
their heads together and talking
about how best to fight global warming
at the UN Climate Change Conference
in Cancun, Mexico.

Interestingly,Thailand's aging King Bhumibol Adulyadej,
the world's longest reigning monarch,
marked his 83rd birthday in Bangkok today(De.5.2010).

The Year of Tiger
is ending in Fiery
Year of Cataclysm!

Dare I Air

Dare I air
the public grouses
the global woes
now sweeping the world
to awaken the consciousness
conscience of mankind to thankfulness.

Like fishes swimming against the stream
will my voice rise above the masses
rare as gold
rousing millions of sufferers
out of sleep.

Will the truth be known
that right will triumph
over might
no matter how
numbskull media
make people dupes
following unquestioningly
the dictates and objectives
of billionaire owners
working hand in glove
with political masters
seeking to stay in power
with no shame.

Can I speak out loud
to doubt
the magical spells ~
the drone of flies...

Can I grasp the meanings
of fast emerging trends
and help people understand
What I have found and propound
profound the vision
of a better,brighter and greater world
promoting global humanity
rooted in
True UNIVERSAL LOVE!

Will I share the care
the grave concern
for PEACE,HAPPINESS and JOY
to prevail
in life's essence
strengthening Truth,
Goodness,Justice,Charity,Mercy
and Benevolence
as Cardinal Principles
for enlightened human civilization
and
light fire inspire
generations after generations
towards new heights of achievements.

May I dispel
the web that like a net cage
imprisons slaves
to the Lords of lies!

So I sing this humble poem
on Thanksgiving Day on November 26,2010
amid overcast global outlook
as Ireland suffers Irish Crisis
and the ire
of disillusioned citizens
ANGRY at a government
on the verge
of falling apart.

Ireland,the Celtic Tiger
proud
faces sovereign debt burden
economic collapse
in this Year of Tiger.

The European Union(EU)
and International Monetary Fund(IMF)
are rushing multi-billion euro rescue
bailout package
to keep it afloat.

Ireland's sovereign debts
have reached unsustainable level
after historic property and bank busts ~
the third national bankruptcy
after Iceland and Greece (May 2010 Euro 110 billion
Emergency Bailout Rescue).

What lessons can we learn
from the root causes
of the rapid collapse
of nations one after another
in the current gloom doom
of 2010 Global Meltdown 2
linked to mountains of debts
that have piled and spun
out of control of governments
in huge geopolitical economic
financial earthquakes.

2010 I think is
The Year of Cataclysm
when the earth quaked (Haiti,Chile,Qinghai and Indonesia),
the wind and rain lashed
in tempestuous torrents flooding nations
(Fiji,Australia,Pakistan,Southern China and Thailand)
and Volcanoes erupted(Iceland and Indonesia).

Now the Harsh Realities
have hit hard:
"AUSTERITY"
IS THE POPULAR
BITTER MEDICINE
being offered to cure ills
built up over many years
of excess and extravagence.

Jobless queues grow longer by the day
in Ireland reminiscent of the hardships
of the 1930s' Great Depression in the USA.

Dare I air
the crux of the matter
the shit in the hair
that big banks must take
huge haircuts
to clean up the mess.

Can I share
the next chapter in this unfolding story
of tumultuous human and national crises
that may spread like the H1N1 influenza
In fierce PIIGS(Portugal,Ireland,Italy,Greece and Spain)
contagion to neighboring regions and other
vulnerable places and societies
to transform all
on earth?

So better
control your debts
before your debts
control you.

Today I Meditate On Peace

Today I meditate

on peace ~ calm crystal clear

water tranquil still

reflecting the sky

like a mirror

in clean pond,

pool,lake and sea.

I contemplate

the ease,satisfaction,

benediction

shining in good kind

words,acts,deeds and feats.

Today please remember

to live in the 21st Century

and not in the 17th Century

or backwards in time

when wars were waged

over religion,race

or supremacy of tribal

dominance or group think.

Given the option

I choose fame

fragrant as red roses

radiant in tender bloom

against the blame shame

ill,evil,sorrow and wrong

of war!

Better that I embrace

kindness,goodness,happiness,

the warmth of love,

the comfort of family

hearth and home

celebrating golden moments

of hearty laughter

with dear loved ones

and sincere friends.

Yes, I treasure

the boon benefit

of peace,progress and prosperity

and dislike

the bane bestiality of war

regression and poverty.

I would rather devote

resources to promote

peace as fundamental condition

for human civilization

evolution into Great Global Humanity

rooted firmly

in True UNIVERSAL LOVE!

This means I must strengthen

magnanimity,meritocracy and multinationality

(the 3Ms) as my legacy for all

everywhere to love one another

helping,sharing and caring

to build a better brighter

greater greener more gracious

world for the future generation.

I advocate peace against war.

I remember the doctrinal ferocity

of medieval fallacy

when the sun was thought

to orbit around the earth

or the conceits of self-righteous

wars of religion

or the farce and folly

of fascism,nazism and racism

that caused the terror

of the two world wars.

As a global citizen

I call upon all

wherever,whosoever

and whatever

the religion,race and nationality

to live in peace and harmony

putting aside differences

stressing the importance

of common ground

placing high value

on mutual respect,

tolerance and understanding

in peaceful co-existence.

The world is a happier place

when we appreciate and understand

the merits of peace.

So I shine

the new prestige

of the humble peacemaker

in the New Millennium.

I mediate peace

urging all to ponder,pause

think and take

proper steps

to resolve misunderstanding

and solve problems amicably

to put an end to conflict and war.

May all everywhere

in enlightened common good

prevent the calamity

of war with the will

to live in peace!

So go blow

the trumpet

of peace NOW!

Behold the vista

of joy

free away from death's woe

when we overthrow

the tyranny of fools

busy in crazy evil wrong low.

May all fight the foes

who betray the leadership

trust and abuse the power

and influence

by upholding

WORLD PEACE

RIGHT NOW!
