Notes About The Poem

April 21, 2024    .six thirty eight a.m.

After The Floods

Flash floods came in a sudden
After few hours of torrential rain
Villages in towns submerged 
Water rose so high…surged.

People stayed on their roofs
Waited for rescuers holding faith and hope
Teams of rescuers came less than an hour
To save everyone with all their powers.

People evacuated in safer places
Government officials sent foods for days
Relief goods and help came from the cities
A unified effort and cooperation with love and peace.

After few days , water slowly subsided
Some went  home, others were relocated
Clean and clear up programs were established
Clogged drainages and canals were all fixed.

Many volunteers, both young and adult
Cleaned and planted more trees for  better result
 Proper waste disposal was implemented
Illegal logging and quarrying were strictly prohibited.
