*********
When the ground shook
When the ground shook, I was playing with my baby.
When the ground shook, I was receiving my promotion.
When the ground shook, I was curled up next to my wife.
When the ground shook, I was playing happily in the playground.
When the ground shook, I was fishing relentlessly.
When the ground shook, I was being given a death sentence.
When the ground shook, I was discovering I had cancer.
When the ground shook, I was shopping for my daughter.
When the ground shook, we were terrified of the Earth.
When the tsunami came, I was cowering over my baby.
When the tsunami came, I was huddled under the desk with my employer.
When the tsunami came, I was bawling by the body of my wife.
When the tsunami came, I was thinking of my lost years.
When the tsunami came, I was swept away by water.
When the tsunami came, I was taking refuge with my captor.
When the tsunami came, I was pleading for my doctor to kill me.
When the tsunami came, I was unconscious under a collapsed food shelf.
When the tsunami came, we all perished.
