Tsunami

“TSUNAMI”
May we had been prescient of the disaster,
The ocean with anger gave a bite bitter;
On this day some years back,
Every heart witnessed pain’s track;
Water is our life, our source,
That day it brutally changed its course;
Dead bodies everywhere found in stalk,
Even the peaceful evening not survived with walk;
It had the power to thrash the base,
No one wants to return back in that phase;
The buildings which were world famous,
That moment nothing there to call it glamorous;
Japanese were the first to give it name,
TSUNAMI got its globally known fame;
Be it India, Sri Lanka or Indonesia,
Water that minute had only single agenda;
First time then I sensed brotherhood,
People came to help, whatever they could;
When the ocean came to segregate,
The whole world stood not to enervate;
It imparted a lesson that day,
We harm environment, soon we have doomsday;
Let’s help to maintain ecological balance,
Every act to sustainable development we have to commence;
Though we lived, we got saved,
Biosphere told to protect, walk the way it paved;
Contamination will lead to retaliation,
Mother Earth seems to be on verge of frustration;
Join hands with wildlife, forestry and nature,
Build up present to have better future;
Tear apart every sinister from society,
Taste the environment, say no more to calamity.
