Indian Floods 2018

“Floods! Floods!! Quick! Quick,” Blared the loudspeaker: “Just five minutes to flee.” Mobiles? ATM cards? Jewels? Documents? To hell with such! Gathering the kids, Picking up whatever the hands could hold They all fled. Blood…blood… O+ Quick! Quick!! Oh, but the religion? To hell with it! To be—that is the question! Religion? Nonsense! *****
