Dermas Deluge

Oh gosh, another tragedy. The news of Libya Shatters the world. Storm Daniel brings down The first dam wall. Water hurtles Towards the second dam wall, Breaching it from the Pressure, it breaks and falls, Flooding the river which broke Its banks and swept in a Devil like, sweeping, horrific Water mass into the Town of Derma. A nightmare of a situation, Which broke all communication, As bridges washed away, Electricity no more, Destroyed by the angry Torrent, consuming everything And everyone in its path, With a determined wrath. Eventually flowing into the sea, Which in turn spewed Out bodies rapidly, And relentlessly. What a terrifying night As people died, Leaving behind their loved Ones to grieve, if they could Find, or identify the bodies. The town was leveled To the ground, and As Storm Daniel ceased Its roaring And drowning, The living wailed, And cried And screamed, Living each moment again, Such sorrow. Dear God, give them strength To face the morrow. They search for a sign of life, A husband lost his children, his wife. The red cross came, Doctors, medicine, and nurses, Volunteers tying to grapple, And cope with this tragedy, They climbed and scrambled Over debris and mangled, Bodies, Muddy water, Cars that were smashed, Homes that water swept Through that were bashed, By an enormous giant like monster, A furious force of uncontrollable Charging water. The helpless prayed Lifting their arms up high, Towards the heavens In the sky, It was not their time to die, Yet some hoped they had, As the pain of knowing, Their loved ones had Suffered and now dead, Would be a lasting dread. People by the thousands Became homeless, the The number of the dead, In the town of Derma Was Unfathomable, And Unimaginable. They wandered aimlessly, in a daze. Could they come to terms With what had happened. The survivor’s strength, Would come only as they Rallied together. You must do that dear friends, Rather sooner than later. God bless you all, the world Grieves with you, You are incredibly brave, Let all your good memories Surround you now and forever, And see you through This horrible reality, a nightmare, Think of the good times Your heart and mind will remember, And will slowly and slightly repair.
