Nepal- A nation bleeds in ruins
As the earthquake struck Nepal
The death and devastation beyond
imagination
3000 plus deaths and many more
uncounted
Desperate search for survivors
God’s fury as worst natural disaster
Information curtailed, communicated
damaged
Rugged countryside still in survival
mode
Series of aftershocks, damage everywhere
Stunned residents and stranded
tourists
Waiting international disaster relief
efforts
Survivors pulled out of the piled
rubble
Nothing but debris where once homes
stood
People seeking pieces of former
lives
Search continues for people unfounded
Miracles expected amid the death and
devastation
As uniformed officers dig though the
rubles
Desperately trying to pull out
people alive
Cheers of joy erupt when someone
found alive
Rescuers hope go high and strengths inflated
Tears roar when debris bring out the
dead
Soldier stands brave and brings out
the corpse
The panorama of devastation turns
world together
Houses and heritage sites-old and
new- torn apart
Monasteries collapsed and people ran
Survivors run to find the open space
Fields, farms, compounds, empty
roadsides
Lived since then on the roads
fearing aftershocks
Slept in opening, shivering in the
frigid air
Quaking Himalayan Mountains roar
Making the entire city go under
darkness
Tragedies united people who survived
Abandoning buildings and broken
roads
City’s centuries old building topped
Those once stood stalwart for
generation
Providing a sense of National Pride
Aftershocks sending fear down the
spines
People screaming and running to
streets
Trauma hitting the residents again
and again
Communal kitchens coming up for food
Everyone helping those around with
cheer
Set off Fresh avalanches on Mount
Everest
Humanity raises to the tragedy and
challenges
Efforts that pour in from all sides
in full swing
Complicating operations taken with
full heart
Emergency responders flown to side
of needy
Search continues to find signs of
life in rubble
What makes us look ahead, is the
hope for life
Rescue, reconstruction and
rebuilding of Nation
Nepal for now, in deep pain and
devastation!
May God be with all those who are in
pain!
May hope come back to those who lost
everything!
A day will soon dawn when Nepal will rise again
