BANTAYAN

                                          PLACE : Bantayan, Cebu, Philippines
                                          DATE   : April 2008

                                         How quickly, quietly the waves form
                                         And then proceed to create a storm
                                         They dance up high, and fall down low
                                         And ripple.
                                         Someday we’ll find that everyone’s gone
                                         The tsunami wave breaks out at dawn
                                         And dances over and under them all
                                         And ripple.
                                         It’s sad the way we don’t think twice
                                         As we litter in the ocean nice
                                         We think it won’t make a difference.
                                         But years later, we will find
                                         While we littered, without a look behind
                                         The sea dries up and leaves not a trace
                                         Of the sea, and ocean’s face.
                                         What used to be all waves galore
                                         Will dance and ripple for us now
