* min. of silence *

My deepest condolonces go out to

all those who have lost their

families/relatives/friends

to the gr8 Tsunami
Earthquake.

May it be tourists or locals, all of them are shaken by the tragic event.

40 in M'sia, 3000 in India, 10 000 in Sri Lanka

and many more missing or feared dead.

These numbers are just numbers,

emotions run even deeper & higher for kins of victims.

A movement beneath

a rumble above.

Window panes shattered

Roofs collapsed.

Screams...

then, more screams.

A mother's anguish,

a friend's lost.

A child shouting at the top of his lungs,

of what that cry might save him from under the debris.

A bikini clad woman searching high & low,

while her other half lay squashed below a coconut tree.

A woman in sari,

weep and mourn beside her dead sister.

Can you feel the pain, the anguish of these people?

The pain of losing a loved one?

The suffering....

Buildings which were ever so busy

turned into a temperory morgue.

Sandy beaches

were littered with corpses.

Smell of death and decay filled

what was once a holiday getaway.

A mixture of agony and cold air

hung above all those miserable folks.

Cries, wails & sobs

echoed thru the whole town

The day we feared wud arrive

has arrived.....

Well for me, this a sign from God Almighty that we shud always pray to Him for our safety and well-being. Anything can happen anytime, anywhere.

Apart from that, it brings lite to me tt we shud cherish our loved ones. i mean we fite everyday wid our parents, siblings, friends coz i believe fites occur more to ppl we are close with. but we shud forgib n forget. n not go "i wish i had done dis/dat while u were alive" n what nots when dey pass away; no regrets.

Also, we r always complaining abt our shittified life. but we shud realise tt dere r other poor chaps out there. those victims dunt haf a single cent nor a shoulder to lean on the whole time. i gezz i'll b more grateful coz there r others hu r waayyy less fortunate den me.

i miss you @9:10 PM ____.
