Nikhil Parekh - Indian Poet


Lets visit all areas disastrously decimated; try and bring a smile to those lips swollen with inexplicable pain, 


 


Lets extricate injured bodies from beneath the debris; transport them at swashbuckling speeds to the nearest hospital, 


 


Lets evacuate all that mangled junk sprawled on the streets; dump it at a place where none can sight it, 


 


Lets sit around people sobbing with uncontrolled hysteria; wipe the tears trickling down their cheeks with omnipotent words of consolation, 


 


Lets search our dwellings voraciously for indispensable amenities; distribute them chivalrously amongst those shivering in the inclement cold, 


 


Lets audaciously clamber up shattered edifices; help people retrieve their precious and lifetime belongings, 


 


Lets construct mammoth tarpaulin tents; to sequester people who fear to venture back into their abode, 


 


Lets sing melodious tunes which resolutely permeate the atmosphere; portraying


the insatiable urge to survive, 


 


Lets lift all those orphaned on our shoulders; try our best to emulate their slain parents, 


 


Lets philander on the dilapidated lanes carrying gargantuan bundles of immaculate bandage; scrupulously wind the same on people with fresh wounds, 


 


Lets assist the police in tracing those deplorable builders; charge them with


the highest treason for swindling innocuous people, 


 


Lets curtail rumor mills from escalating high; prevent all possible pandemonium resulting as a baseless aftermath, 


 


Lets provide fortification to substantially weakened structures; meticulously


ensuring they get reinforced with the highest pedigree of cement, 


 


Lets take aerial snaps of the towns annihilated; emboss the same in newspapers; for the world to get a glimpse of the unfathomable tragedy, 


 


Lets converse for marathon hours with the survivors; try our best to comprehend their concerns and requirements, 


 


Lets intensely communicate on behalf of those bereaved; make indefatigable


attempts to locate their siblings overseas, 


 


Lets pay equal attention to scores of animals maimed; try and mitigate their


suffering by adeptly dressing their wounds, 


 


Lets carry pails of fresh water in all those colonies; wholesomely obfuscated


from the outside world, 


 


Lets educate the people more vociferously; about the earthquake and its possible ramifications, 


 


Lets procure tones of stringent chlorine tablets from the government; allot them benevolently to try and impede infection from circulating, 


 


Lets donate blood traversing through our veins; giving it to those who haven't


enough of it left in their shriveled bodies, 


 


Lets chisel out ways and magnanimous means to employ millions; who have been


divested of their jobs and homes, 


 


Lets adopt all those wailing infants; who were found incarcerated in the arms of their dead mothers, 


 


Lets stand tall and unflinching in this hour of insurmountable crisis; assist the people all round the globe; as well as those surviving to; rebuild a new Gujarat
