Frozen
Never had a chance.
Frozen
Always making people glance.
Their smell is nose scrunching
The sight stomach hurling
Their skin surely as cold as ice
Frozen,
Their color as black as the mice
Frozen,
Never with a proper goodbye
Frozen,
No one in exception,
Whether if you were a girl or a guy.
Hundreds of them still missing,
Our government barely doing anything.
Frozen lined up on the streets,
Still and unmoving,
Covered in sheets.
Frozen,
Taken by Haiyan.
Frozen,
But not forgotten.

One of the hardest parts of being a survivor, is seeing those who were not lucky enough to pull themselves out of the deathly cold waters. Everyday I would see people passing by, with a body on a blanket, carried on their shoulders. The churches were lined up with the dead, and the morgue, running out of caskets, have no choice but to wait for the Department of Health to collect the bodies.
Frozen, they all are.
I can not even imagine seeing such horrible things every day. Glad you're safe and my heart goes out to those who lost loved ones.
I'm so sorry for all of you who have had to go through such a horrible thing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all on this day and every day.
What a beautiful, yet very sad poem. It is tragic indeed about their situation and all you want it to help them somehow.
This is so sad! I am so sorry for all those who lost loved ones. The pain will always be there. My prayers to them.

I could not imagine what that is like, I can remember responding to horrible hurricanes here and seeing bodies everywhere. It is something you never forget. I hope you get help soon.
