Earthquake........ Poem by Ravi Sathasivam

Earthquake........

Rating: 5.0


How can our mother earth can be so cruel?
Why she is shaking, quaking, crashing our earth
and destroying our belongings and our loved ones
Is our mother earth become violent because of
human against nature or human made sinful world?
What harm our little children did to you mother earth?
Why you made their life crushing with the debris?
Do you see mother earth our people rolling on the ground and
beating their chest and shouting and crying for their lost ones?
Is this the way you want to kill us when we love you so much?
Today the oceans become cruel and they create Tsunami
Today the winds become horror and they create Hurricane
Today the rain become pitiless and they create flood and earth slips
Today mother earth also become violent and you create earthquake
and our beautiful cities and towns are turned into nothing but cemetery
Let the heaven send us peace and strength to help those suffering
Let us pray today for those who died and got injured
Let us pray God to make this world the peace of heavenly blessings

i think the nature is changing it way so the huge losses we are going through. Its nature that is making the mother to do so.Its a nice one. It feels sad when u see all the loss with u r eyes.

it's not the earth that does all this.he is God.it's Gods will.he wants to test peoples loyalty to him when they are afflicted.they must then ask God to help them.he also wants them to be patient when they are afflicted because after every affliction there is always happiness and tranquility.the quran says: (Allah made from every sadness, happiness.) ...and...(Allah loves the patient people) ...a nice poem why didn't you post it in 2005? thanks for sharing.

Yea I agree with Chitra, a deep cry and supplication for God.. I don't think the mother nature is cruel, may be this is a warning from God to the whole world...the human beings are not perfect -I know-, but they have mind to think! and the bad humans destroyed a big part from the nature, so may be this is the reaction of the nature...All I can say is 'God help and forgive us and send your mercy upon us..' Great poem...Merna
