Pandemonium

P ain devastation engraved on townsfolk’s faces A s vile earthquake raked homes, claimed lives; N othing but trauma lashed this chaotic scene D eaths numbering ten, forty, and hundreds rose as E mergency aid dragged from crushed infrastructure. M inutes after, a city once rich endured shock-waves O f confusion, famine and loss... each groan unbearable; N ameless bones piled under rocks of torment… O children I n a stupor, looked for their mothers freezing, pining, U naware of a 7.2 grill flattening a paradise to the ground… M isery! Misery only nature can tell, but she answered not. 8..04..2016 John Hamilton's Pandemonium Contest ~ The 2013 Bohol earthquake in the Philippines was one of the fiercest disasters to hit the country since 1990. Famous landmarks and attractions were destroyed, with 671,103 families affected. ~
