Nature, the Destroyer
Nature, the destroyer
Unsuspecting morn,
All else left save old and kids,
In fisherfolks’ huts.
A rogue wave crashes
Into the coast , flattening
Them out in a flash.
Bodies, four hundred,
Dumped and under debris, rot.
Town stinks for a month.

Ps: Based on the devastation caused by Tsunami ‘o4 at a town called “ Colachel”, the worst affected, not far away from my place.
