Running On ocean Surface. Poem by Nabakishore Dash

An insane giant,
moves like heavily drunk,
sometimes runs,
sometimes walk
on the surface of oceans.
Extremely unpredictable
and confusing are his
speed and direction.

Runs and walks
whether tides are high or low.
Progresses at his will
with full liberty
as if has no foe.
At times the spinning arms strong,
at times weak, the center being
occupied by the eye.
Visual and print media declare
that he gathers and accumulates
his strength from
the breast of the sea.

Accompanied by
violent gust of wind,
speed is so very high,
can overturn boats and ships,
undermine them,
very harsh and unkind.

Heavy downpour is his bosom
companion, sky overcast
sun hidden,
sometimes drizzle,
sometimes pitter-patter,
cats and dogs, torrential
and incessant rain.
Governments get ready by
pre-deploying rescue,
relief and evacuation operation.

Governments and inhabitants
in coastal regions
are worried, hurried,
nervous and frightened,
remain watchful and sleepless
when the giant makes
its landfall.
Extensive damage of lives,
infrastructures, properties
and standing crops are
back-breaking to reinstall.

All transports halted,
power and water supply
disrupted,
life is hard and painful
especially for the poor.
The rich, in towns, book
rooms in luxurious hotels
to tide over the period
Where there is facility
for powerful
inverters and generators.
Trees uprooted, trunks broken
electric poles pile upon the roads
like the beheaded soldiers
prostrate in the battle ground.
Helter skelter of leaves,
twigs and branches compel
people to remain home bound.

Creates havoc and hunger,
forecasters and meteorologists
call this giant as tropical cyclone,
super-cyclone when wind speed
exceeds man's imagination
and estimation.
Nomenclature of tropical cyclones
like Fani, Titly, Amphan, Hud-hud
jawad etc. are predetermined
by eight countries,
Bangladesh, India, Maldives,
Myanmar, Srilanka, Oman
and Pakistan.
I have the nightmarish
experience of all above
mayhems,
Super-cyclone and Fani
had maximal affliction.
