NEPAL (A Poem) by Su'eddie Vershima Agema

(for Kathmandu[1])

slowly the dead in numbers riSE
like the evils we see in the skies
trembling earth
has birth us death

even our temples fell, pray then tell
is our knell from heaven or hell?

we open our hearts to paths
of a flow of the beauty of the soul
needing your help to grow
from this pain we now know

we pray with hope…
but for how long can we cope?
