Flash of Danger

THE SURGE You came like as expected Winds furiously shaking the ground Rain unstoppable continuous to pound. As hours passed, your fierce marks the town water increases up to its heights but still you never stop swiping every corner, left nothing to spill. Scampering, they're trying to lope your ailing temper Mother and child crying for help but your sound is a tearful killer parent's cuddled the youngsters, but too strong your foulest curse. It's not your intention to harm 'cause you're just a phenomenal mishap, but for those you visited, you're the great destroyer A mischievous, dangerous thief that left nothing even their foyer. THE AFTERMATH Scattered bricks, fallen debris, lifeless bodies on the sidewalk Mournful view, so sickening to the eyes You've taken out their lives, now all that is left are frozen as ice. The beautiful city turns to abandoned graveyard At night seems haunted, deadly ravage at daylight you hear the silent echoing in the rampage. Deaths are still unnumbered, missing still increasing They who outlive cries for shelter, food for their needing. Never deter, frustrated mind, weary hearts. >> the typhoon Haiyan (local name:YOLANDA) hits Tacloban City, Philippines in the 8th of November 2013
