Not Really a Haiku

Earthquake, tsunami, wreckage, devastation, loss . . . 

I watch the news.  I read the stories.  My heart aches for the people of Japan.  

The threat of further suffering as nuclear plants appear poised to melt.  It's too much to take.  

What can be done?  

Each year, it seems natural disasters wage war.  

Has it always been like this or is this a recent phenomenon?  Maybe we just have modern modes of instant communication to thank for all of this wonderful news.  

If a tsunami strikes in Japan and no one is there to record it, did it really happen?  

No more recording, I say.   The revolution will not be televised.

No happiness photo today I'm afraid.
