A lovely warm spring day, no coat needed.
The weather can be friendly, usually is
But through Burma a cyclone has seeded
Destruction, loss of life and hopelessness.
The Burmese authorities are far less
Accepting of our help than they should be,
But this time they have been forced to request
Our charity, humiliatingly.
Some good may come of such a tragedy;
In wartime, most of the public heeded
The call for unity; foreign allies
Joining the struggle against the Nazi.
As once our threatened people united,
Could weather’s violence bring us back to peace?
