We are fragile beings
Hearts break
Earth quakes
Hit the brake.

We are fragile beings
Blood through veins
Love is a pain
An endless game.

We are fragile beings
Tsunami attacks the shore
People in Japan are no more
World filled with war.

We are fragile beings
Making mistakes
That we can't afford to make
There's only so much we can take...

The author's comments:
Written after hearing about the tragedy in Japan.
