[hometext] => I wrote this poem when i heard about the earthquake in pakistan in the news.Recently there have been a lot of natural calamities throughout the world.And i feel sad when i see the reports about them.
[bodytext] => I woke up in the morning hearing my mother singing Went to the kitchen to have my breakfast after morning prayers food was served at last I ate up all the food in a hurry Roti, dal, chutney and curry Kissed my mother good bye on the way to the ground to play all day We were having fun playing cricket and right when Azim took the wicket We all heard a rumbling noise like thunder and the earth shook and I looked with wonder as the nearby buildings collapsed to the ground and then for a moment there was no sound Even the birds in the trees stopped singing and we all stood there staring at the rubble left of the city with fear sorrow and pity Then there was an uproar of noises We ran towards the city yearning for familiar voices I ran as fast as I could Towards where my house stood I found it had collapsed too I ran round the rubble though I knew that I would never hear my mother again I stood looking at the chaos in vain I looked at the people passing by They all shared the same emotion in their eye Disbelief, sorrow, a feeling of loss and pain But we all knew that our lives won't be the same again.
