Fear of Tremor

Fear of Tremor
The day in the mid of twelve
I was on mid road and felt dizziness in head 
Thought arose a fit of sugar
Compelled to lie down kneeling the earth

No sooner hands touched the pitch
Plying of vehicles were run on the road
Mind diverted and claimed an earthquake
Not leaving all in seconds to death

In a minute valley enveloped with dust
Everywhere fear of and unimaginable loss
Lives, livestock, and all estates
Turned into a pile of horrible rubbles

Stopped life animate in animate 
A dread of killings of all relatives and dwellers
No phone no internet contacts all fell
Everywhere in daylight tremendous dead

My towns of valley Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Lalitpur
Many towns in country spreading poor
Ate up hopes and lives leaving a flood of tears and ghost

Alas if there would have been escape
My countrymen would have life again
Them whoever passed away and to relatives who in weep
Million supports and plenty solaces to bear the pain

Hands and minds that helped distressed Nepali in tremor 
Humanity and for brotherhood, a respectful salutation
May bring spirit for prosper better than past time 
A wish of all a big Nepal an Everest borne Nepal.
