From the news, I know Haiti has an earthquake on January 13, 2010, how horrible it is if it happens to one of us! Natural disasters hurt humans and make the victims feel hopeless some times, but help is offered by many and let’s pray for those, hope that things get under control and more lived are rescued and saved.
————————————————————————————————-
I have nil control over my fate
When it comes to earthquake,
The nightmare hits my place
With unstoppable pace.
The floor cracks,
The Building falls.
Rocks crumble,
Animals stumble.
Humans get buried
While rescuing teams hurried.
…
When I open my eyes,
I see dead flies
And wounded mice,
…
Lying in bed,
I learned that my parents are dead!
So sad,
So mad,
About this bad
Fate I have had!
Becoming homeless,
And feeling helpless,
Strangers care for me instead.
Being still in dread
Of this disastrous dismay,
I chew a slice of bread
And wonder
Where is my home to stay.

Have A Blessing Day! Everyone!

Hello, San:
It is great to see you in my place.

It’s an unimaginable thing – how terrifying and sad for the people in Haiti.
Agree.
Glad to see you in. 🙂
I am overwhelmed by sadness at their loss. I don’t think I can even imagine how heartbreaking it must be there.
Agree, Debbie,
I have noticed that you look like a fairy, but you do carry kindest human heart.
Thank you for the nice memo. 🙂
“wounded mice” seems so sad.
What a tragedy for sure.
I guess we are all passing from the alone again into the alone. But we are never really alone.
Blessings,

Hello, Jannie:
You always bring in energy when you come,

a very harsh tragedy from Mother nature, put into delicate words from the master, we all grieve the human loss and disgust ourselves with the looting, well done the emergency teams who are always on hand from countries as America to help RIGHT AWAY, well done friend..:)

Very nice poem
Thank you, Sandra. 🙂
Unfortunately, the fact we can watch n still can’t help is excruciating! The lack of medical care is so upsetting-
I work with a couple extremely traumitized Dominicans- who used to live right next to Haiti-
Melancholy poem- Being homeless is a unique feeling. Being a survivor without family left- must be so desolate a feeling…
Dear SnaggleTooth:
Thank you for the positive feedback.
It is hard when it comes natural disasters, for ordinary folks such as us, we can only pray and wish for better results.
Glad to know that you have connection to folks close to Haiti..Bless you, great and caring being you are. 🙂
tragic, heartbreaking, can happen to anyone, cannot stop Mother nature, but so many lives needlessly lost 😦
True,
We humans are helpless when Mother nature gets upset. 😦
Hope that things get under control with those selfless rescuing teams..
Thank you for the remarks of gold. 🙂

The roughness in speech echoes how the speaker is shaken. Thank you for sharing your poem.
you are very welcome,
Yousei Hime,
It is a great joy to have you in my blog. 😉
this is all very sad,
These lines:
“Becoming homeless,
And feeling helpless”
A fear everyone has no matter where they are. We can only pray the after shocks are mild and everyone will be found.
Have a great day,
Gerardine
