Nature's Wrath

Dark clouds loomed over the horizon They broke loose in unprecedented force Nature's wrath, sudden violence acquired It rained down as if unleashing all her fury It was a downpour without equal The heavens let down dark misery for days on end, Waterbodies swelled and hollows filled, Land mass slipped and trees fell, Rivers were in spate and dams were full Waves surfed and waters roared, Like mountains they rose over the land, Men in throngs were evicted from their homes, Hundreds died and livestock perished Such violence, never ever imagined Helter-skelter, people fled for life. Lands inundated and folks marooned, Homes washed away with all belongings Power failed and life has come to a halt Rescue operations go on in full swing Still many, stranded and crying for help "Water, water everywhere, nor even a drop to drink" As Nature thus plays her perfidious trick, We shall stay united and pool all our might, To regain for our land what we have lost When the Deluge chants the dirge of dying souls!
