You came,

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

You ravaged,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And you left.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Taking with you, without mercy,

Homes filled with history,

And countless innocent lives.

Missing.  Burried alive.

Over 500 lost souls...

Millions of unrealized dreams.

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

 

  

 

one cry of brutal agony

 

 

 

 

 

one pair of hands reaching out in despair

 

 

 

 

 

one restless night of fear at refuge camp

 

 

 

 

 

one last man standing alone

 

 

 

  

 

one daughter still waiting for her missing father

 

 

 

 

 

one violent crash against raging waters

 

 

 

 

 

one sudden collapse breaking all hope

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

one paradise-like village disappearing

- in the blink of an eye

 

 

 

 

...... one garbage bag filled with "whatever left in our lives"

 

 

 

- These are one too many.

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

We, Taiwan, will not rest.  

And will not be defeated. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brave hearts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Filled with hope.

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

Love.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Courage.

 

 

 

  

 

 

Compassion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And unity.

Are what our family is about.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- And all that we need.

 

 

 

To restart. 

To rebuild.   

One even stronger,

More beautiful home.
