Hell-bent almighty magnitude transforming
     paradise
Betrayed innocence shelters swept away
Without warning tempestuous fury struck
Nature's epic proportion senseless wrath

His Majesty exhorts inherent goodness
Unique common cause peaceful harmony
Humble compassion preserved for centuries
Always caring ever-ready helpful willingness

Inspiring sage monarch urges unification
Heartfelt selfless devotion genuine concern
Praying to whichever deity listens
Same-colored blood flowing through veins

Battered palm fringe warped reflections
Andaman sea turtles endangered species


Dugong threatened existence coral reefs
Shell-shocked pearls stranded unhinged luster

Turn crisis into rebuilding opportunity
Rehabilitate shunned environment pristine
     beaches
Togetherness must weather unavoidable
     sadness
Looming challenge coping with adversity

Deprived of childhood unhealed scars
Most vulnerable offspring remain susceptible
Distraught lost souls suffering survival
Guilt internalized grief redeeming courage.
