OH GOD WHY ME?

by Abha   Apr 3, 2008


A bomb blasted in the train
Many people lost their life
A little boy orphaned
Cried: Why only my parents....?

Tsunami flooded the shore
Many coast submerged
The beachside family reported missing
Kinfolk grieved: Why only my family....?

Earthquake battered the town
Complete population grounded
The victims unheard petition
Resounded: Why only our zone....?

A blind baby delivered
Of beautiful parents
The mother could not stop her tears
Lamented: Why only my child....?

The entry ticket to this world
Is marked with obnoxious barb
Adversity nurses the virtue of man
But why in such appalling garb?

    Last stanza is very good. It's a very true poem. Something can't be avoided. Thoughtful piece of writing.

    Awesome! I am contemplating an anwer to it:

    Why the flowers fade in a day?
    Why the sun sets the same day?
    Why the youth fades away so soon?
    In all these is Nature's boon.

    Why the lotus blooms for a while?
    Why beauties after a while beguile?
    Everything has its own profile,
    Nature gives everything a trial.

    Winter is always followed by spring,
    Music is mixes up low notes and zing;
    There is always a monotony in One,
    Change and diversity create all fun.

    When the sun sets in the East,
    It rises in the West,
    So that we can have the rest,
    And they have the zest.

    In that lies our lif's zest

    This poem is excellent as it talks about how cruel life can be to some as the boy who lost his parents will never be able to recover from such a setback which life gave him just when he entered this world. It is great that you wrote about such a topic.
