Concernant Paul Watson, j'ai lu son poème qui est le suivant :
Personnellement, j'y vois plutôt une personnification de la nature, figure de style classique en poésie (elle a un nom, une voix, elle se met en colère, elle frappe...), mais surtout je ne vois aucune allusion à une quelconque faute des japonais dans le poème. Alors pourquoi interpréter que les japonais n'ont que ce qu'ils méritent ?
Mais ce n'est que mon avis, pourra t-on me répondre. Voyons donc plutôt voir ce que Watson dit lui-même de son texte (https://www.facebook.com/captpaulwatson ... 4562665932 , accessible sans compte) :
J'ai été étonné de voir que certaines personnes y interprètent une sorte de revanche karmique, alors qu'il est évident que le tsunami a touché de nombreux innocents (dont des animaux non humains) : cette interprétation ne tient donc pas debout."Paul Watson"":2z1k4szv a dit:Tsunami
Neptune’s voice rolled like thunder thru the sky
Angrily he smote the deep seabed floor
From the shore echoed mankind’s mournful cry
The sea rose up and struck fast for the shore
From out of the East with the rising sun
The seas fearful wrath burst upon the land
With little time to prepare or to run
Against a power no human can stand

Captain Paul Watson. I was supportive of you for your fight against whaling, until now. I am still against whaling but I lost all faith in you. Divine punishment for their country because of the actions of few. I don't know what to say.

Captain Paul Watson Then you did not understand my poem Phuong. It was not about divine retribution to Japan, it was about the vanity of humankind and the fact that nature does not discriminate.

Phuong Nguyen I apologize, I should have expected the media to bend things. Reading it directly from you makes more sense.

Captain Paul Watson
This was simply a poem about the power of nature. It was not anti-Japanese. People, I wrote this poem when five of my crew were lost. We did not know for over 40 hours if they were alive or dead. This poem was not written out of insensitivity to the people on shore. No it was written because I felt the need to understand and express my deep concern for my crew and all the people in the path of this tsunami. For those who say this is karma, all I can say is that you do not understand the concept of karma. Nature does not discriminate. My people on shore and the average citizen of Japan on shore were equals in the face of this tragedy. Japan did not deserve this disaster nor would I ever imply that they did. But we must acknowledge that we take the awesome power of nature for granted and thus we are shocked when that power is unleashed. Let's remember that famous line, "ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee." I had friends on that forlorn shore and I was not insensitive with my poem - the words came in response to the tragedy and I have long accepted that poetry is an eruption from the heart and is not to be denied. Those words came to me in response to the threat to my friends. From the shore mankind's cry was indeed heard. And before such power no human can stand. This is simply an acknowledgement of the truth and not anti-Japanese in any way. A good poem provokes thought and discussion and stimulates the reader emotionally and each person sees and feels what their heart leads them to see and feel and we all see and feel things in different ways. I make no apology for my two verses - they are words delivered without any intent to offend but with the intent to provoke an emotional response. The comments on this thread have shown me that my poem accomplished just that.
