The Power of the Gods

Eerie calmness of the surroundings
evoked from within my soul
picking up the pieces of what was left
is like a puzzle
that can't be put together
or restored-
it was only yesterday
the world shattered in turmoil
debris flying like a stealth
up in the space filled with the
raging musters of the Gods.

236 miles per hour wind
nothing can stand on its ways
devastatingly destructive
no one can survive its wrath
people's wails and people's cries
muffled by the angry gales
in time like this
we can only kneel down
be lowly and surrender.

Ten days later and what a sight
the looks of the living dead
more heartbraking than those who died
you can't help but ask the question:
"WHY OH LORD OUR GOD?"
must these sufferings happen to us?
answers unheard, i knelt down to my knees
unabated tears of rivers flowing
down my hopeless and weary face...

Eerie calmness evoked from within my soul
Lord God of the Gods please bless us all.

About this poem:
the aftermath of the most devastating typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines is an experience never to be forgotten...how insignificant we are...and powerless compared to the power of mother nature..

Oddette,
My heartfelt and everflowing gratefulness for all your comments. My husband is in the army and had done so many things for the clean up in such an aftermath. I can only pray so much as the magnitude of such a catasthrope takes a herculian and astronomical power to handle it. But with our united effort it will make a great impact...

Thanks so muchbouquet gift

While the calamity itself was so devastating heartbreaking, the distribution of the enormous aid raised by the whole world is now more frustrating because of Red Tape and the poor victims are not quite given the full benefits yet. There is a picture of the 670 people transported by C17 of the US for the victims to Manila and it is amazing because it is so historical as it is the most number of people flown by such an aircraft.

Thank you all for your prayers.
