The Catalogue Of Catastrophies Poem by Dr Shamim Ali

Calamities, Conflicts, Violence, Paucity

Ecological disasters, Lethal diseases, Dearth

Famine, Cataclysm, Aggression Antagonism

The catalog of catastrophies

Both individual and public - is never-ending

Every day and hour media,

Politicians, proficient - and quacks

Bring us a never ending salvo of bad things

No wonder that countless people feel dispirited and somnolent

Need for print and electronic media

Join hands in initiating a vital good programmes

Protect the viewers from catastrophies

In a humble and special way

Contribute to a more balanced view.

Much to value and enjoy in life
