The Man at last!

Suddenly the Richter scale vibrated,
And the buildings lost their foundations, roads divided in twos;
And a complete silence prevailed.
Nothing to loose, nothing to gain,
Yes, it was an Earthquake, a war by nature against man-kind;
In the moments the Earth swallowed the man-kind.
Should we blame the fiery nature or mankind?
Riots, a curse on our deeds;
A living example of human beings’ wrong deeds,
People contending on the issue of religions,
Thousands butchered, raped and disabled;
Should we blame the system or mankind?
Flood, yet an another devastation;
The whole area ducked creating another chaos.
The system fought, struggled against the nature and bounced back;
Should we blame the God or mankind?
Yes it is what we call Gujarat.
Gujarat-a place of all deeds,
A center of learning, a center of business.
Still being tested year after year.
Has it been a routine work or is there any full stop?
Or is there another cataclysm?
As the action speaks louder than the words
Let us not challenge the fiery nature…
We need to overhaul ourselves…
