Catastrophes
Huge ‘trophies’
Bestowed by nature
Man- failing to nurture
Once, gorgeous looking earth-
Unaware of its incalculable worth.

Or, God’s gross wrath
For deviating from His path?
Opening floodgates of casualties,
Untold misery and calamities:
Deluge, hurricane, Tsunami, wild fire,
Disastrous damage from Ozone layer,
Deadly quakes burying live millions,
Dampening the morale of umpteen humans.

Forsaken,
Forlorn,
Incapacitated…
In an imbroglio
Stood the man;
Stupefied, no furor;
Sighed resignedly,
Exclaimed melancholically:
“O, gosh!”
Wept in a hush?
