After The Super Typhoon

After the storm, people count their dead Fallen houses and wounded are tallied. Schools and offices are still closed Broken live wires hang on the loose. After the storm, people move and walk on floody streets and roads, treading on debris of ruined houses, trees and memories. Eyes, searching for loved ones - still lost. After the storm, hunger and thirst scream for attention; shelter from rain and sun is gone Food and clean water are scarcely to be found And people weep to find help in desperation. ____________________ November 9,2013, the day after the merciless visit of Haiyan super typhoon, called in the Philippines as Yolanda.
