Thirst and Fire


The below poem is dedicated to the victims of somalia Drought and various terrorists groups acting against the aid. The head of the U.N. refugee agency said that drought-ridden Somalia is the "worst humanitarian disaster" in the world after meeting with refugees who endured unspeakable hardship to reach the world's largest refugee camp.Somalia's militant Islamist group al-Shabab has put a ban on foreign aid agencies, as the region is hit by its worst drought in 60 years.




Thirst and Fire




Rain rain , please visit us again.
Earth is thundering with the hollers of pain.
A drought and terrorism coalesced well.
Languishing humanity and life like hell.
The dearth of cultivated earth envenomed their sufferings.
Famished for food, deteriorated their pizzazz & offerings.


Rain rain , please visit us again.
Not in abundance but with little also we will live the same.
The tax on water and the echoing gun-fires.
Killing of elders and burying the impeccant desires.
The relief camps filled with desiccant sources.
The hindrances for social societies meager resources.


Rain rain , please visit us again.
Vultures are waiting and cattle are dying at each lane.
Lustrous Sun appears more like a red hot plate.
Broiling the poor and piercing them with a sharp blade.
Terrifying Famine and the fundamentalists.
Flunked topographers and diplomatic nutritionists.
All are responsible for the hue and cry.
Ten thousand died , many more are in queue but still let’s give it another try.

 


Silence Prevails,
Aditya Dogra
