The Inevitable Calamities

7 July 2022

41 Viewed 41

We fought nature and lost
Time and again
What a year it was!
Added calamities of flash floods and heavy rains
And cyclones with many names
The earth was shaking tremendously,

Beneath my feet develops the cracks,
And there was that fire still burning,

Vanishing the resembling woods in a go,
With the animals lost in it
Oh it could not be any worse anyway
But there comes the twist in the plot where
Volcanoes were turning up
Out of blue brimming up,
The storm was arriving shortly,
The calamity is inevitable
Pondering over where to escape,
The disasters were striking every corner
In which direction to follow,
Towards the sky filled with smoke of volcano
I still looked up for help,
To search for the Lord, the Saviour, 

Hidden behind all the dark clouds.

Poetry of the Bleeding Tragedies is a collection of poems revolving around various spheres of the real life events, where people are starving and suffering due to various heart wrenching incidents. This includes the issues of heartbreaks, partition memories, terrorist attacks, wars, physical harassment and others. In this collection, I have tried to bind together couple of feelings of the victims and all the respective sufferers. This compilation is a reflection of bunch of melancholic emotions. I am thankful to my mother and Nehil bhaiya who helped me in successfully accomplishing this compilation. (All poems are sole ownership of Debyani Mukherjee. All rights are reserved.)
