The fear anxiety contempt and the concern in these lines speak volumes of themselves...a good poem on the terrifying rememberance of a bad day in human life...thanks...10

this is the time for the sad silence................... No tears nor sorrows nor condolences Is it possible when no life breathes in the self Up to the sky and down looked to the earth Shall the heaven strike again and shall we know not Worse shall happen as the game ends in itself What follows is the cry of humanity in unison Places of worship not schools or hospitals Houses and blankets and warm palms to wipe Tears are the prayers that after the shocks shall Are we not humans and seek solace in mass rituals When no one shall hold our hands we raise for a help 9/10/2009

Who lost whom when the count was placed Earth had shown the carnage it was explained Two tectonic in Himalaya did not brace Who will dig the mountain to see the face Friends and relations some died in one place Hundred thousand deaths for the angel of death Who could be busier on such a long day Healing hands were in the rush when it was known Vultures flying over the demise much before Some carried young girls as the booty of disaster To their mothers they said when in the high seas Smuggling in human what else the human nature Could one day justice befall with heavy hand What was the loot for those who were the custodians When stolen were utensils from the home itself The beautiful arm of the girl in her teens For the gold and silver she wore up the wrist Lacerated with impunity the butcher’s knife now From nature was befallen though the calamity Integrity of those who commanded in the chain Put to shame when forgotten were own death

It's always nice to remember the victims of disasters, both natural and man made, it's harder for the survivors, who have to live with terrible memories. Unfortunately many of these survivors still are deprived of the comfortable lives, a very nice dedication, very well penned!
