Katrina
A Poem by Ershad Khan
(Originally composed on August 30, 2005)
Keeping my eyes glued on TV set
An overwhelming sadness I can't reject
To see human misery unfold
Reasoning gave way to hunger and cold.
In raging water life changed fast
Nothing is eternal and nothing will last.
A lesson for us, a humble reminder,
To be more caring and kinder
Every human life is oh so precious,
A chance to reach out and be gracious
Common human's uncommon valor
Has risen above race and color.
In the time of such tribulations,
Not to give up hopes and aspirations....
God will shower His blessings on those
Stood by not, but giving who chose.
*****
