A/N: Written to let people know of the sufferings of the people in Kerala, India who are now ravaged by flood.
Enough. We received more than what we bargained for.
Why do you continue to unleash your fury upon us...
Didn't you already fill us up with more than what we can measure,
Didn't you already plunder our riches and ravage our land,
Didn't you already take away all our beloveds...
It is true that we have scolded you when you didn't come to us,
It is true that we have criticised and complained about you when you didn't even give us enough water to quench our thirst...
We know that you are now giving back more than what we bargained for;
But don't you know... that if you do not stop crying, the voices of mournings will arise from even the far reaches of our land;
Don't you know... that if you do not end your tears, ours will continue to fall...
You came uninvited and brought your friends with you...
You even came into the place that we sleep,
You even enclosed our shelters,
You even filled our fields,
You even upturned our land,
You even threatened the humongous walls that we constructed to store you,
You even climbed past the bridges that we built to cross you;
You brought death to our doorsteps...
You stole several things from us;
From the plate that we eat from, to the bed that we sleep in,
You even took away all the clothes that we require to cover our nudity...
Your actions were that of a Reaper,
Your softest of touches were enough to freeze the deepest corners of our hearts,
Your low tune of death was enough to grip our hearts in fear,
Your symphony of doom was enough to send us running for our lives,
Your dance of destruction was enough to bury us six-feet under...
Many collapsed under you,
Many lost their loved ones to you,
Many couldn't bare your unbridled fury...
Enough. Please reduce your anger;
Please tell your friend, the wind to simmer down in its flight of destruction...
Did you not know that your thunderous approach made us all into refugees,
Did you not know that your unbridled fury took away everyone that we cared for...
Our prayers from the bottom of our hearts that we have had to yell out to you,
Our arms that we have reached out to beg you,
Our eyes that are now droopy from crying for so long,
Our voices that are now fading into a whisper,
Our hearts that are now slowly seeizing in their beating,
Please do not continue ignoring us...
The land that you made so beautiful is now at your feet begging for forgiveness;
We apologise for the cruel things that we have done to you in the past... Please Mother Nature, a thousand apologies...
#PrayForKerala
The people of Kerala are suffering. Over 1000 dead and over 2,00,000 people who are now homeless. The death count is only an estimate and will continue to rise as the flood is only beginning.
Please, pray for the people of Kerala. You may not be from the same state or even be from the same country. But remember, In the end we are all human beings. One World, One Life, One Nation.
