Surviving By Fluke Chance! Poem by Ramesh T A

We see news of massive Earthquakes in Turkey, Syria and later in New Zealand;
Earthquakes and storms are not new, but they can't be stopped or predicted well;
Our science & technology fail to know them but birds and animals know by instinct;
Massive storm and Tsunami too my small town has seen and escaped too by miracle!

2004 Tsunami hit our town but did not inundate it though lying in low area of trough;
The town escaped due to some rivers are as tail end are joining the sea saved it;
Until such happenings all were afraid of town getting submerged in sea cyclone or Tsunami;
But the surprising thing is better placed countries too affected by Earthquakes and storms!

Certainly escaping from such natural disasters unaffected is great miracle;
Also, what to say about the better placed counties too affected by natural calamities;
Both fate and miracles are experienced by the people of the world now and then;
Perhaps they are warnings to world men to be careful with Nature and live accordingly!

But miracle saving some people and fate destroying many people can't be understood;
It is happening side by side on the same Earth and we are surviving by fluke chance!
