In this city, where sunshine turns people sore
Flooding is not just the city
But the houses too, Oh What a pity?
Its not just the skies that opened
But, the hearts and doors of houses too
A foe turned friend
Helping hands became the trend
Roads turned into canals
Places where cabs & rickshaws moved, now was replaced by boats
Rescued were people from their houses
They saw their belongings drenched & afloat
When people in this city were out of food
The whole country came together to do some good
After 12 days of ordeal
Chennai, saw the strength of no biggies but just its people
This post is a dedication to the rains that happened in Chennai in December.
Pray to all

Thoughtful piece. It's amazing to see people deal with disasters and makes one think of their own mortality.
ReplyDeleteI agree Kathy,
DeleteThanks for dropping by :-)
Oh my you did have an awful flood. I hope things are a bit better now?
ReplyDeleteThings are almost back to normal
DeleteBut the fear is still there
Thanks for dropping by Kathe :-)
Isn't it odd that water, so lifesaving, can also be so destructive. Hope things are improving there now.
ReplyDeleteI so agree with you Susan. Things are improving but it has instilled a small fear in people's hearts.
DeleteExcellent tribute...
ReplyDeleteThank you Tess :-)
