TSUNAMI

With roaring waves the sea

Tumbled inside out, muddling bottoms

Breaking away the shore

By gulping satiating it’s greed

And soaring on to the sky again.

None of the great men who

Fell into sleep dreaming that

Cosmos is within their fists

Could get a span to wink.

The tide ceased and men got up

From satellites poured out pathetic sights

That would melt heart

And was given a name anon  ‘Tsunami’.

Minds woke up! The media fares set

Contesting stages up

And streaming forth tears-crocodile

For making good and to reap ‘heaps’.

Relief funds landed, and

Service mongers and philanthrophiles

Did rise to act

Relief funds piled up and the

Exchequers even got plump.

Ripped off their huts, nets and canoes

Stark darkness alone before

Stand startled here

Scores roam and rumble fortune lost.

One sects sets up stages

 To loud the heroic stories of their relief works

The other makes news

By sharing the relief funds themselves.

The sea in fury raged and the shore collapsed;

All soulful minds shuddered, and

Never will that shudder be forgettable.
