Elegy on the departed souls in earthquake
Posted on: August 15, 2012
It’s good, they died—–
If, lived —-what would they see?
Sizzling hunger
Rising poverty
Homicide everywhere
Putrefying dead bodies
Dignity and pride being disgraced
It’s good they died!
If, lived, what would they see?
Immoral and callous conduct
Helplessness and earthiness
Inhumanity tetchy humanity
Corruption and loitering
Blessed, not seeing, this
It’s good, they died
If, lived, what would they see?

But isn’t it great that the living ones still have people like you around, who do their bit to make this world a better place to live? 🙂

A very sad way to look at death. It is sad when children are born without any chance. I believe if we spend 10% of money on war for food, shelter and education. Our world could be a better place. Thank you for sharing the powerful poem and photos.
