The excessive unjust
Overused terms
such as devastation
Only serve to
undermine the unseasoned
Terror,
frustration, helplessness
Grief and anxiety
Being experienced
by millions of Nepalese
Today
With many more tomorrows
In the pipeline.
Who do you turn
to
When there’s no aid
much less guidance?
What do you
drink
When there is no
fresh water?
How to you stay
dry and warm
With your house disintegrated?
Buildings on foundations
shattered
How do you stop
your child from crying
With no promises
of better hours?
How do you
protect your loved ones
With chaos as
bedfellow
And unpredictability
as the norm?
How do you find
the missing
And roads fractured
beyond use?
Infrastructure
shattered
Crops ruined
The future is blighted
Yet the focus
must be now
Suffering
demands it.

Thank you, Anthony. I have no words. You said and showed it all: "Suffering demands it."
ReplyDeleteLove you.
Thank you dear Robyn. xo
DeleteI keep on wondering what China and India with their massive defense forces and fleets of helicopters are doing. I hope we are just not hearing about all the help they are giving. Or is Nepalese distrust keeping them out? The earthquake will put the country back economically for years.
