SEVERE TSUNAMI

Have you heard those cries?
OF VICTIMS; Amongst were-
Men; Women ‘n’ juveniles!

Screeches of HELP for SURVIVAL,
Reverberated into the exposed air.

When the surges’ swell;
Like the head of –
A Black, Malignant snake;

Ready to engulf and gobble;
Not even giving out –
A Fleeing BREAK!

Merely coercing them to shiver;
And coercing them to shake!!

Prevailed a sheer Turmoil,
Curtailed each second of their lives.

Asking them,
“Throw in the towel!”
“For I will tear down you,
Your kin and your rivals.”

There lie;
The Battered nets; Uprooted trees
And Demolished houses,
Swept cars and boats;
But the only thing floats-
Are the tears of HOPE;
Inadequate to fill the heart of woes!

O HARK! They are calling!
A FLOOD has gripped them,
With PANIC ‘n’ FEAR;
That they THINK;
They will never REAPPEAR!!!
