News from the North
are disquieting and disconcerting
mind-boggling and blood-chilling.
Torrential rains, floods, landslips,
cloudbursts,
two weeks in a row.
Communication lines snapped,
electric lines cut,
North is literally in the dark.
News from the North
disquieting and disconcerting,
mind-boggling and blood-chilling
people being washed away,
lands, monuments and temples
and pilgrims too washed away,
heavy downpours continue
unabated.
Thousands stranded with
no help forthcoming in
the torrential rains
and frequent landslides none knows for sure
how many waiting to be lost
how many left starving,
how many are diseased
without proper care available, no idea.
It is ‘Tsunami’ – somebody calls
it is ‘apocalypse’ some others name it
‘deluge’ some call.
Be that as it may
news from the North are
disquieting and disconcerting
discomfortable and disheartening
mind-boggling and blood-chilling
with no hopes left……………………..
