Six Years Old Looked into the shallows All the children's shoes were there He said Maybe true It's still too soon To wonder why we all weren't swept away Searching for his in-laws Sent his wife to stay with relatives Said My son is six years old I don't know how much longer I can stay Nothing is where it's meant to be Something is changed All the world feels strange now Way clouds move isn't right

about

With its first violent jolt, the magnitude 9 earthquake killed 10 teachers at Ookawa Elementary School, plunging the students into chaos. Survivors say the children were urged by three remaining instructors to follow a long-practiced drill: Don't panic, just walk single file to the safety zone of the school's outdoor playground, an area free of falling objects. For nearly 45 minutes, the students stood outside and waited for help. Then, without warning, the monstrous wave swept in, demolishing what was left of the school and carrying most of the students to their deaths. Twenty-four survived. Across Japan's northeastern coast, at least 125 students from kindergarten to college have been confirmed dead, with about 1,600 still missing. Heavy machinery rumbles past a broken wall bearing the inscription by Japanese writer Kenji Miyazawa that had been hand-painted by students long before the tsunami. "We will not be beaten by the rain or the wind or the storms," it read.

"Steam powered fantasia with a touch of the wild, wild west and one of a kind mechanical instruments. If Melies had been a songwriter instead of film director, his music would probably have sounded something like this."
