Disaster & devastation
In Haiti
Thousands trapped under the rubble
Crying for help to pull them out.
Some shackled in their wounded bodies...broken limbs
Excruciating pain....what a hopeless sight.
Babies bathed in their own blood
Mothers frozen in awe...some died.
Tens of thousands buried alive...in their own homes
for ever....sheltered from the agony of poverty and misery of life?
Those who survived...are desperate to stay alive
Stunned and stained faces.....blood and dirt
No food...No water...No shelter in sight.
Why mostly the poor are destined to face the devastations
Of Tsunami, Katrina and Quakes....worldwide?
Born in pain & suffering, to die by Nature's Strike
Oh God of Love and Mercy.....Please tell me...tell me Why?
