The Angry River

Men n women of all ages embarked on the scarred road
Carrying bath them desires n little children bin the cold
For legend of the ganges was reverred worldwide
Her water pristine cleans the blackest heart where cruelty lies

Like a charging bemoth whose chains come unbound
Bringing a tsunami of all the slit n debris dat cld be found
Cities men n beasts alike the angry river consumed
In its path of destruction even innocent lives were dommed
Yearning for loved one everyone knelt down in aftermath
Young n old faced together for the first time
Ganges wrath
It's so very sad to thnk all these lives went in vain
Will our human nature still remain unchaged
