Remembering the victims of the great Tsunami, 26th Dec 2004
==================================
This very day, that fateful morning, a decade ago
Water washed away many a bloated ego
Mankind's quest for supremacy grew spurious
But Nature showed she indeed can get furious.

In a few minutes, the jogger in Marina got jagged
Fishermen's colonies, in a flash, were gagged.
The pristine beaches of Phuket turned graveyard
The Velankanni's altar became nature's dumpyard.

Neither were the poor in Aceh settlements spared
Nor did the rich in Chennai escape being pared.
The wounds to civilization, to this day, linger on
No one but nature to point an accusing finger on.

The wounds to civilization, to this day, linger on
No one but nature to point an accusing finger on.
Modern science gives mankind a diabolic delusion
That urge to overpower nature is now an obsessive compulsion
Against nature, let us stop trying to be brave
A wave of anger suffices, to lead us to the grave.
