Life Is Not Fair (Poem) Japan

I wrote this poem for Japan, on when the disaster struck. Now, empathy is about to kill me. Here is the poem:

Life can't be controlled,
life is not in our hands,
but we still own luck,
but sometimes the opposite.

Try to think of you in that situation,
what would you do?
And the worst thing is that you are useless against an earthquake,
a tsunami or even a storm

You can't make up imaginary solutions,
since this is the real life.
Would you just stand there,
and try to close your eyes?
Thinking it is just a dream.

Now, Empathy comes first
tearing your heart apart.

Imagine you in your country,
watching your life,
your country
change.

Speaking about this,
makes me want to think,
this is all pretend.

Picture you waiting for the result,
sadness, crying, sorrows, melancholy

The only answer is that life is not fair.
