The Calamity of Nepal  Part  2 Concluded


The crisis of Nepal is not only the result
Of manmade deeds and erratic constructions
Of erecting unplanned houses and roads
Creating illegal buildings and dams
And erecting high mountain reservoirs
On ocean like river Brahmaputra.   08

All   these...

The hawk lay upon the lazy late afternoon 
air currents;
Floating, circling, spiraling, ever downward.
Its wings spread wide, white feather-tips splayed.
It teetered on the updraft 
above the terraced alluvial plains
in the lea of the Himalayas.
Landing with a compression of desire 
upon the crumbling limestone outcropping,
It stood...

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...

My heart goes to them
To our brethren in Kathmandu
God save them
And their country
You are all in our praying time
In the history of Sulu archipelago
And Brunei they are the hero
They are good people and loyal too.

I love you Nepal. Let's sail together. Layag Sug!

The Calamity of Nepal  part 1

Too fearful a tragedy
To be described in words
Heart wrenching cries, pierce the sky 
And  sadness in the form of tears
Dominates every face and every eye.  01

The descriptions of horrifying tragedy
From the mouth 
Of those,  who...

There was a man from Nepal
Who loved to play football
He kicked it one day
It flew far away
Scoring a goal  in Senegal...

Amidst the peaks of the Himalayas,
Lies a land of culture and beliefs,
A world that's rich and diverse,
Where ancient traditions still breathe.

Nepal, a land of many hues,
Where harmony and unity reside,
Where diverse cultures come together,
And a vibrant tapestry is tied.

In the valleys and on the hills,
The...

The sun drenchs and heat soaks the air.
It throbbs with fumes.
The drivers of the three wheeled, canvas covered
taxi’s curse, beep, and press
their way between motor cycles
with garishly clad riders.

Males in western-style helmets 
drive women, dressed in peacock-colored saris,
down the main boulevards between
the Mercedes of diplomats...

Nepal 
Nepal I know little of this country nestling
Among colossal mountains 
It used to be a kingdom, but the king was so 
Autocratic that he lost the job.
Later on, I have this from memory, one of the princes
Shot the royal family as they were sitting...

Orange juice, beans, black pudding and coffee is my breakfast!

Lunch and dinner and comfort sofa is my zone area!

Everything needs to be perfect, I don't mind to spend more than I expect! 

I have a shelter, spring bed and carpet floor!
Need to make sure it's...

As the bus rode 
through the molting pine forest and
the crumbling ochre rock formations;
bits of colorful cellophane litter brought the only relief to the eye.

Inside, behind a profusion of people,
boxes, backpacks and assorted baggage
babies slept.

The bus creaked, shook and groaned
its way down the serpentine,
asphalt, mountain...

Asphyxiated and found dead
Raped and found dead
Unsure what happened, and found dead
Nepali women found dead

Snake bitten and found dead
Eaten by tigers and found dead
Left in a small dark menstrual hut 
And found dead

Nepali women found dead
Shunned and labelled unclean
Ostracized for the wonderful way
God has insured...

A woman is strong.
She is loving and wise.

She endures,
She moves hearts,
She laughs and she cries.

She nurtures,
She commends,
She supports and she mends.

All for the sake of her children and friends.

A woman does all this,
And yet,
She suffers the dreaded menstruation.

In modern countries,
She can go to the store...

You’ve walked those streets a thousand times and still
                      You end up here. Regret none of it –Dorianne Laux

The body lies still, no breath to take,
A loved one's gone, a heart does break,
But where does the essence of the soul go,
Beyond this life, do we truly know?

Do we grieve for the body, now at rest,
Or for the spirit, forever blessed,
Released from the bounds...
