Flood

A big wind fallen tree on the wooden bridge Broken and flown the pieces in the flood water The island in the river full of small homes Lost their connectivity between the mainland The people cried for rescue from the flood water No country boats were present in the near vicinity The flood water came like a serpent in motion No question of mercy from flowing water and fire Save us from the calamity the women cried Make haste the actions of rescue the old men shouted The flood water is up to the basement of houses No hope of escape from the island if it still high The animals we gave protection were not secure They expressed their own emotions of anxiety of flood The dog barked aloud and aloud for sympathy and attention No one bothered to listen concerning their own safety The flood water came to the inner rooms of small houses Their total fitness and safety suspected to be in peril The people made sounds and cries for help from mainland Seemed to be people were not seeing or hearing the plight At last a brave man from the island came forward Trying the luck and his capability to swim across He made a swimming equipment by dry coconuts tied And swam across the river with vigor and courage We prayed and prayed as usual in such calamity For the safe reach of our dear one in such heavy flood However he accomplished his task and reached safely And came back with a rescue team with two country boats Asked us to keep ready and make hasty rescues of women And children then the old men one by one to the boats Then come the other ones without a commotion and fear We can safely cross the river in the boat he told Happiest were all listened his comments and adhered And reached to the safety zone from the flood water Not only that the young one's dedication and service He promptly saved the lives of the domestic animals Allowing even a venom less snake to climb outside the boat His courage, strength, and dedication was so high.
