Earth has nothing more cruel to show!
All, reduced to rubble, to dust returneth.
Rasped Nature, growled the belly of Earth
There made arid, how hope, now, can grow?
Hurt would be all in soul who pass by.
Quietly watches the snow peaked Himalaya.
Utter loss, Oh, Shiva, why such 'Maya'?
Ahoy, says the heart, eyes sans tears dry.
Kindred flora n fauna thou destroyeth
Even now wake up, thee, Universe urgeth!
Pratima@ The tragic earthquake is a warning in a way to human beings for tampering with Nature. The Himalayas are earthquake prone as the tectonic plates underneath are still mobile. In such a sensitive area come up base camps, and hotels and what have you, for the Mount Everest adventurers.
As the rising sea levels are already drowning low lying islands, the crumbling Himalayas seem to say to human beings, thus far, and no further your sports, your adventures, your progress, and the resultant environmental regress! Hence this acrostic!
