That fateful day;
Even the Sun hesitant to rise
To warn the earthlings?
Of the impending disaster; alas! !
That shook Nepal to the core.
An earthquake that quaked the world,
The tremors from the bowels dark,
The earth slipping under the feet;
Buried under the debris lives screaming helpless
Inaudible to human ears...
Writhering in pain unknown.
Many lives lost in seconds
Others insecure and fumbling to register the reality
The wrath of mother nature
Claiming supremacy over all creatures
Lashing its vengeance?
Reminder of reigning power supreme?
Nations bonded in common cause,
To aid fellow - beings morose,
Camps sheltered the victims
Scarcity of drinking water claimed,
Unhygiene premises framed...
Several diseases fatal
A situation unthinkable and unbearable....
Can only offer prayers to our Saviour-
to bestow mercy upon these poor souls
To help them to brave the ordeals.....
And emerge to resume their journey of life....
The earthquake was such a tragedy, it's hard to comprehend the suffering. The dead, the injured, the homeless and hungry, those who lost friends and family members. Thanks for the poem that reminds us of this disaster. They are all in my prayers.
