For aeons of time unknown
You were the bystander, alone
With umpteen creatures, extinct
You had a rapport, distinct
Possessing terra's lion's share
Nurturing us, love and care
Human lives at your shore
Reaping from what you bear
Altruistic and always deary
Why this abrupt act of fury?
Bounteous an asset,
Why on earth you beset?
Wuthering waves,
Withering lives,
Gushing storms,
Effacing homes
Truly...
Time and tide
Waited for none
Bereaved of belongings,
Deprived of dear ones
Even our kids,
For no misdeeds
In pain and strain,
We mourn in vain
Of hue and cry,
Our eyes are dry
Generous, like an ocean
We will teach never
Vibrant, like a wave
Will we preach ever?
Oh God!
Is this earth or earthly hell?
Where else can we all dwell?
Why this wrath wrought on us?
On whom lies the whole onus?
May divine love fill our hearts,
The only cure for all hurts
We all pray as craving souls,
For your grace surely heals
