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

I hold technical qualification like Diploma in Radio/engineering .I have done English and Hindi stenography as well. I had mastered the art in Morse telephony too. I am associated with several welfare organizations and served long time as Union leader too. I am at present working as hobby writer. I write poems on various subjects and invite suggestions from all the quarters. I have written one memoir named “As I see it” and ready for publication. One interesting part of writing I would love to share with all my reader friends. I am not sure weather it may be the same case with all as I do not want to be caught in any controversy. When I sit on my personal computer, there is absolutely no thought in mind as to what is to be picked up as thought and written. These all things I leave it to the discretion of almighty to fill my mind with relevant ideas. So far I have been graced by Him and as result able to compose about 4000 poems. I have be awarded with 4 achievement award from the www.ezinearticles.com for successfully meeting with their standard.
