The Worst Water- disaster Ever! Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

The Worst Water- disaster Ever!

Rating: 1.0


no water,
not healthy
can't shower
body filthy
feeling sick

no water,
unhealthy
BUT
Too much water,
not healthy either
today the rivers Meuse and Verdre
and all other waters treat the surrounding neighbours
with too much water
sand, mud and stones

human flesh and
human bones
everywhere they come
these rivers are very strong
what went wrong?
100 dead yesterday
added today becomes 125,
Oh no! 133 or maybe more,
and the end is not yet in sight

think all victims don't even have a bed
all stops are on red
and I? !
you should be ashamed of yourself
with your lazy ass
on your lazy bed,
tragically sad!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Poet's Notes: nowadays Southwest Germany, East Belgium (Belgian Limburg and South Netherlands (Dutch South Limburg) to Venlo, at the moment the mayor has a blitz conference, all the above parts, are sunk in water the whole household is carried away by these waters rain every day, every week, makes the rivers in this area burst their banks at lightning speed, everything they come across 'tsunami-like' flooding caused by rivers overflowing their banks The human tragedy is so great that the counting of the economic costs has only just begun, though a German official bluntly said the total will surely run into the 'billions'
