I decided to write a short poem about Japan with some Japanese words.
Enjoy the poem and I hope you like it.

A Tsunami
Is the biggest itami.
So many people are kanashii,
Nothing survive, not even Sushi.

Who is responsible? Who?
Japan has too much mizu.
The whole humanity loves Japan,
Fortunately, help is not kohan.

Japanese word - English translation
itami - pain
kanashii - sad
mizu - water
kohan - late

Really unfortunate what happened to them.
Good to see you care.

i agree with you.

I don't know why, but this doesn't sound like caring; I find this "poem" quite humorous. I think it was because of the language mixture - that wasn't a good idea.

However, the press coverage is overrating the disaster as always. It's good to see a person's opinion on the subject. I will refrain myself from rating, because this poem is more about awareness than about aesthetics. Therefore, a rate isn't applicable.

Nice job.

Japan has record earthquake, huge Tsunami, fires everywhere, 10,000,000,000+ US dollars of damage, missing people, and a death count on the rise... Yeah, overrated

Anyway nice poem and I appreciate your concern for Japan. But the sushi part was probably inappropriately humorous, although I knwo that wasn't what you were trying to do.

Okay.
Thx for the comments.

Yes, media always enlarge every natural occurence. That is recurrent in our nowadays society - the curiosity about other's pain.

Tell me, have you ever seen this scene: there's a road/street accident, with many people gathered around, just watching? I've seen that MANY times, that I cannot even count them. This shows the current trend - although people do not help (and are even making the problem even larger than it is), they want to know. Media can be faced as a society megaphone - a place on which you earn BIG money, a place on which EVERY story is ENORMOUS, a place on which every disaster is THE ONE.

But it turns out that, even with a bad situation, it is not what is displayed.

This poem shows another side, in my view - the Japanese side. We're not talking about numbers, we are talking about sorrow and pain and even a restart (the humor seems like that to me).
