Flood's Current

this happened to my family last christmas...i was already here in Saudi..all i could do is support them...i was really devastated of what had happened..this is a poem i made out of it..

A river of water
Gushing through everything
Strong and hard current
Swift as the wind passed
Pain and suffering came in a rush
A feeling of loss

Panic is on the edge
Fear and Deaths seems to be everywhere
Help in on the way
Hope is coming along
Sad and happy memories disappeared by a flash

Fast as the sound of thunder

A new beginning to begin
Begin from nothing
Rise up to stand still
Struggles are harder to avoid
Every step is a challenge
Because it's the way how life is...

Mother nature's rage to the extent!

 

Author's Note

my sadness goes to my hometown..
i can't help but thing about what happen to my families back in the Philippines.
too much damages to our things and our livestock dead...yet it's a good thing that god is so good to us that my families are safe, but i cant help think about the others who didn't survive. life is sometimes cruel.

a very sad Christmas and new year for us...

im hoping we could survive and stand again in time....

read the news here:
click me

I just added the last line...for the fact that there are a lot of illegal loggers in our hometown... and the government is just shoving it aside...

the picture is from the news...its not mine credits to the news people...

Like what Gab said, Filipinos are as resilient as the Carabao grass. We never lose faith. We never lose hope. We will still stand and move one.

BTW, I haven't talked to you yet. But what had happened to me/us here during the typhoon is clearly stated on Gab's page.

Faith and hope for our countrymen, Pax. We will survive.

Struggles are harder to avoid
Every step is a challenge.
Well penned.
