It's Dangerous

It's Dangerous to Live by the Sea
by: Rillia Green

The alarm blares as I awake 
Oh, to be awaken by the waves would be a dream 
Until the waves chase 
Screams are their alarm clock

I wait for my friend to take me to school
No school for Sumatra
Inundated with water
Thousands are missing
Who's going to take them to school?

The bell rings as I walk to class
School building still stands
More fortunate than those who lost it all
The walls of water took everything

I wait anxiously for the final bell
Home, can't wait to eat, sleep
Those children have nothing
No home
It's dangerous to live by the sea
