Once The Storm Starts Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Once The Storm Starts

Rating: 5.0


It does not see who is guilty and who is not
Like a mad elephant who has lost his spouse
It demolishes all whether a palace or a hut
Multi storied high building or a little house.
Once the storm starts there're no super powers
The angry winds shake the strongly built towers.

Your gun was mightier when you killed her
But it made him an insane activist
Now kill this mad elephant if you can
He is deaf and dumb and blind terrorist.
He is in Harvey, He is in Irma, in all the storms
Once it's gone mad everything it deforms.

Nature is deaf and dumb and blind activist
Mostly kind but often an unkind terrorist.

Nice comparison of the hurricanes to an elephant on rampage! Very spot on ! The recent hurricanes have left a trail of destruction especially in the Carribean Islands!

It is when natural disasters happen that's when we realise how powerless we are. Once the storm begins then huge structures collapse like toys. Then, what of man who can be hurled like a leaf into the sky. Nature is deaf and dumb and blind activist Mostly kind but often an unkind terrorist. Most effectively picturised! Thank you Akhtar Sahab! Full Vote

Nature can be our enemy at times and it is a formidable foe, like Harvey and Irma that destroys without mercy! Love this beautifully crafted poem!
