Gorkha Quake
Sometimes nature could be grim
Recalling us the plaints of afore,
This looks a dream
Reminding us Nepal-Bihar 1934.
Gorkha quake; so, quick
7.9 moments of magnitude,
Gusty wind; so, high, like you "Everest rock"
For it ceased 19 souls on mountain "You"
And hid 250 in Langtang's valley.
Thousands of Landlords are homeless
You will see people sit in two and three;
As you move along the seismic streets.
Boldly written on their faces "WEAKNESS"
Though we were warned
For decades; that Nepal was vulnerable.
But while our thoughts were not one
To stop the quiver, we weren't able.
