Japan Before and After

Devastation in Japan has created havoc among many citizens

Lights flashing, people rushing and cars zooming across the street to get to their jobs and have dinner with their families.

Lights out, people hurting and cars are compacted under debris, people shriek, people calling their loved ones to tell them…

Dog scratching to get you to give them a saunter and get some fresh air. Waving to your friends whom you pass.

Your dog yelping and scratching to get out of the abandoned house, to be with his owner. To be able to limp down the street with your owner, helping you friends get out.

Flying above, people traveling and able to go home. Safety.

No sound, no staggers from anybody, but the rushing of the garbage in the rusty, muggy water.

Relaxing on the beach, looking over the ocean while gazing at the marine life leaping over the ocean, breathing and lively.

Dead, motionless and having cleaners pick the once breathing mammals swimming with their associates.

Lessons being taught, teacher lecturing and minds working with imagination.

Lesson has been canceled, teacher counting heads, minds speculate… what is happening?

Passengers are quiet, horn is honking and the train is safe on route.

Passengers being shattered, horn is stuck and the train is out of order.
