Nightmare of Kerala

 Unselfishly I left My Father and Mother,

I left behind my Sisters and Brothers.

Leaving My beloved Family and gave up everything

And sacrificed everything to be the Follower of Christ

I put on hold, my dreams, my normal desires

To live in the midst of the world with no desire for its pleasure

To be a member of every family yet belonging to none

God called me to save souls for Eternal Life.

I gave up my life wholeheartedly to serve God and others

To have a heart of for charity and a heart for chastity

As a warrior and compassionate servant of God

I carried onward, no matter the cost.

When Kerala floods washed away and destroyed the homes and lives

There was no path to escape the destructive violent rains!

I cried and broke out in loneliness and emptiness when My Brothers and Sisters in Christ fell all around

Struggling to survive and save their lives from the Floods that was washing away

Those who survived floods were Emotionally, Physically Scared.

I watched as a Mother crying for their children,

when she had heard that her children had died.

I watched a Father trying to hold back his tears helplessly,

when his children are struggling and floating in the floods

And when his hard-earned house and properties were submerged in water

I saw many people crying for food and their basic needs

I saw the collapsing of Houses near My City

I saw Buildings tumble and fell to the ground.

I saw All the rain that caused floods.

With the streets becoming walls of mud.

I saw roads in neighborhoods were flooded that looked like canals

I saw Landslides dragged down many peoples and animal's life and trapped them for days

I saw even water rushing into flood relief camps
