Furious nature
Run, run came voice from distance
Could not find out where form as instance?
May be I was in deep and fast asleep
Heard simple a sound of cloak and beep
Bed simply shook with full swing
As if it got speed and sudden wing
Shouted in sleep as mighty king
Who is pulling me to get in the ring?
Heard heavy foot steps running down
Sensed as if I was loosing crown
Something wrong with no reply received
Danger seemed nearby as fear perceived
Sky was lit with red sun shine
Heavy wind blew with rhythm fine
No time to witness the fury of nature
All ran towards for passage and safety for future
Earth quake, earth quake filled air with sirens
Ambulances rushed for help with concerns
No one knew what was happening
Nature was turning hostile and sharpening
I thought of jumping from the top floor
Did not care to see back and close the door
Wife was already down but came with big cry
Had curse for leaving me behind and why?
Found whole building was shaking like tower
Watched we helplessly without any power
Few might have saved life in time
Death totally high in locations prime
Sea waves surged high and dashed the shores
Not sparing boats, life and anchors
Nature was high furious in its height
Earth too was heavily burdened with weight
We have extracted enough from her belly
Now it is her turn to change into Death Valley
We have gone for only wealth and money
Has tolerated enough now no scope for honey
Earth and nature substitute as caring mother
Why we should treat then as any other?
So much vacuum and inside the layers
Nothing can help but only prayers
We have tested enough her tolerance
