Ramesh T A (28th August 1950 / Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India)

Earthquakes and bomb blasts shake the Earth;
Molten lava within the Earth has not solidified yet;
As the quash ball bouncing between wall and bat
Earthquakes let out the earth’s gas here and there!

Quakes hit Indonesian Isles and Afghanistan or India
The another one hits near Philippines before Italy
Besides tornadoes hitting America and even India
While bomb blasts hit Pakistan or America now and then!

Tremor in the town stirred and shaken people out of wit
Leaving all in nightmares perhaps for many days to come!
For tsunami people go up the house to escape drowning
But, for quake, people come out of the house to escape!

Nothing is sure in the bubble world of ours that jolts often
Making ego, pride, wealth and power very poor too soon!
Only love, knowledge, cooperation and company help all
Whatever be the situation of life in this precarious world!
