The Giraffe Blog – Poems by Virgenal Owens

Blind rage, like oceans.

Beautiful, calm, peaceful,
Where every surface droplet 
Reflects serenity.

But earthquakes always agitate,
Storms aggravate.
You become tsunami.
You don't know how much damage was done
Until your waters have leveled
Everything around you.

And the news will always blame you, 
Not the defenses, not the dams, not the levees
That you overcame.
Your nature always makes you the enemy.

And you will down in history 
as natural disaster.
