Brute brown raging water
From torrential rain worse ever
Washing away all on 30th march
Took us by surprise quite fast
The deluge brought bitter desperation
Causing panic through its massive destruction
Stealing oxygen from the lungs of many
And stripping us of our safety
The nation’s natural disaster tragedy
The sign of man’s destined frailty
Brought great Mauritian solidarity
To the families in terrible difficulty
The city turned into a muddy pool
A scar not to be forgotten so soon
Can also be a harbinger of worse
That Climate change can bring doom.
