The day was another Sunday
“A” day in the week to relax
The “sea” looked calm
Everything was usual
Or so we thought…

At one point of time
No on knew what was happening
The sea receded a long distance first
And soon after, huge columns of water
Beat against the shores
With massive force and might
That the bare truth of the scene
Hit me on the face.

It was as though hell had broken lose
Hundreds of people, ashore – unaware
Were caught in the waves
Those waves responsible for
Destruction, demolition, and death.

It was as though a fierce war was being fought
Between nature’s fury and
Thousands of ‘Unarmed’ People.

Water, Water everywhere
Onto the roads, into the buildings
Into the huts and houses and shops
Obliterating “Anything” and “Everything”
Within its reach

The sight was pitiable
The loss unaccountable for
Precious human life had been lost
Many houses reduced
To nothing “less” than ruins.
Lives disrupted forever.

However,
Hope is never lost
Faith remains
And belief overcomes any crisis
Let us hold hands and help
Towards making this disaster
One valid reason for a fresh new start!!!
