All on a sudden <br />The earth cracked, <br />Things fell apart <br />And the centre cannot hold <br /> <br />Loud cries of children crashed in their head <br />Shrieks of old men all over the street <br />Women under the broken walls imprisoned <br />People rushed helter skelter <br />O! God, There was no place to hide <br /> <br />The wage of sin is death <br />But what sin did these people commit? <br />God was silent <br />After the tremor the whole country was silent <br />Those who used to speak aloud are all dead <br /> and sleeping under the debris now...<br /><br />Ratan Bhattacharjee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/haiti-after-the-tremors/
