VISION FROM HELL

~~VISION FROM HELL

The earthquake happened in seconds
Among the screams that fell down like rain
For everyone who heard the news that day
Life would never be the same again

Out of destruction, the horror and carnage
Came a vision of hell here on earth
With the dead the dying and wounded
Came the vision of pure evil at birth

From the rubble came God’s tiny children
Torn beyond life, beyond our repair
Through the smoke and the flames came the heroes
To battle a fight so cruel and unfair

Among the ruins, disaster, confusion
We find any little hope slipping fast
Through the helplessness and the anger
We look for a tiny thread to grasp

Dear God Why, where are the answers
To all these questions we ask as we wait
How can we bare this wrenching sadness?
When we know not who we should hate

This insane destruction is all we can see
And while we pray that more are alive
Dear God tell us what to do now
To mend the ones that has to survive

We are left with a memory of so many losses
And, as we watched in horror as our world shook
We are left with blood on our sidewalks
And an indelible memory of each Angel you took…

God bless the survivors, and the lost in the April 25, earthquake Kathmandu, Nepal
