Analysis of It is all over
It is all over, it is all over
People are running for shelter
Roofless people with cry for cover
Sky over and to spend life however
Tremors, shocks and sudden jerks
Silent morning with no dog's bark
Heavy wind's blow and cry is spread
Scores of people were unknown to be dead
“Don't shake my bed” I shouted
With little shut eyes I was shunted
I was bolted from outside for no disturbance
There was no one to hear my cry at once
It was worst kind of earth quake
Precious lives were lost and so much was at stake
We were under open sky and widely awake
I could feel fury of nature that was not a fake
It was just in morning and occasion for republic day
I was to watch national T,V, for colorful passing way
The show was turned into mournful event
There was heavy rush for help and movement
Entire Bhuj* city was raged to ground
Wreckage all over with little life to be found
Never in history such a vast tragedy
People were unaware and not ready
Still tremors are felt from time to time
People are used to but rush out in time
It reminds of sad event that shook the living
None of the people still refuse in believing
* Ancient town in erstwhile Indian state
