The day hope died

Down came the deadly wind To ask as if "can nothing bind?" Nature’s calamitous power and might, Adversity; and the farmer's plight The dreary night when it was just away All that people could do, was pray They heard the roar and its piercing cry But hoped that it would just pass by When the savage made its way into the land They watched helplessly, longing for a helping hand For some lost wives and some lost lives Crying, this is what happens when nature jibes Everything was over, both bad and sad As no one knew whose son was this lad? People started to fight for shelter and food Because, being humane fetched them no good Even when the whole country struck with grief People still waited for the much-needed relief There was total loss of power and communication Everyone blamed the management and the situation The age is hi-tech; but still, the pity is This is not England, America or Greece The government said, "I had done my job" But alas! The poor man was left to sob He was still reluctant to leave For he, his family and a wooden heave A small farm, a few vessels and a knife Were the only earnings of his entire life Still we find the children fight and play Not with toys and mud and clay But with epidemic and disease Remembering their dear ones the storm did sieze Their hearts recite from time to time But this time not the same old rhyme "Rain, rain never come again All you left us with, is pain” Another day something else will happen again When thousands will be left stranded in vain And then, countless innocent hearts will burn But the value of life, we will never learn
