Poem «Crushed», evoking the tragedy of Nepal quake (2015)
CRUSHED
Heartbreaking desperate desolation,
thousands of deaths in vain, millions affected,
poor nation neglected,
crying souls in much pain.
Earthquake unexpected,
historic monuments shattered,
landslide scale of devastation again.
People trapped, debris all over,
rescue children and men and women,
get relief from this wreckage.
Remove barriers, pass on the message,
help is needed, restore the heritage!
CRUSHED by nature, waiting for salvation. What we see is total annihilation. Poor nation in pain, destroyed, crying souls, raising begging bowls. Heritage shattered, monuments in debris. I wonder how to control damages of such degree? Hold on determination to gather efforts and rescue people of this annihilation. A chain of solidarity to raise, relief to praise.
