Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Haiku

- Haiku X 54 - Nepal -

In faith, grace and love
Power of wild bulls and lions
Earthquake in Nepal
 
Death quake in Nepal
Villages  totally destroyed
Heartbreaking pictures

Dead human bodies
Disaster unknown level
Earth continues shake

They need clean water
Under wings of an angel
My Lord, why is this ?

Caught in a drama
Hoping to find survivors
Screaming from the ruins

In grief and despair
They need shelter for the night
Prayer for the dead

Ravindra K Kapoor May 8, 2015 at 10:50 PM The millions of these suffering people of Nepal really needs shelter and prayer dear friend. Unfortunately the tragedy is not only the result of Earth's eternal forces ( colloids of two giant plates) but it is more the result of destructions’ created by men on Himalaya.

Kp Nunez April 30, 2015 at 10:06 AM You're right, Anne. It's nice to see someone's talent being used to rally for a cause. From where I am, there's a call to donate the most most basic one can give. They're being packed and will be sent by the gov't agency in-charge as well as some TV networks through their own foundations. Be blessed, my friend! Hugs!
