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!
