WHO TAKES THE BLAME -UTTARAKHAND TRAGEDY?

WHO TAKES THE BLAME -UTTARAKHAND TRAGEDY?

Uttarakhand an abode of the spiritually motivated soul,

 Crystal clear waters ,pristine forests a divine heavenly pole,

A mesmerizing place of meditation for Goddesses  and Gods

Why  was it allowed to be invaded by fun loving human squads?

In feb 2013  a court ordered the removal of illegal structures around

There was no relieve to the river banks of these encroaches on the ground

Three and a half months later the rivers swelled  furiously to finish this job

A natural disaster , but a man made catastrophe of killing  the mob .

I warned you  three days ahead said the meteorology  man ,

Why still  then our elected  government did not understand ?

Why were the  fun loving tourists and holy pilgrims  not called back ?

What use are these  weather warnings if  our  trust lacks?

Unwise  man,why did you  provoke the wrath of  Dhari devi and Lord Shiva

Within hours of relocating  Devis temple you  enraged  Gods  burning diva,

Nature had given a warning earlier in April not to disturb her abode ,

Alas a man made project to generate electricity ignored this heavenly code.

No point repenting now after thousands of life's have been  left dry,

Realizing now that these warnings were not mere red flags of a wolf cry.

Bridges collapsed after a days warning,do we call this governments autonomy 

Did they think preventive measures were costly for the country's economy ? 

Who is answerable for this neglect to natures abode and human life?

We ,it is we the humans who boast of umpteen knowledge to take all in strife,

The armed forces   brave rescue efforts have made  us all proud ,

The national disaster teams  also contributed their strength unbowed .

Wake up the  unwise , powerful and the corrupt in this holy land ,

Your  shameless rendezvous in pilgrim places innocent people cannot stand ,

God's warnings we must all heed ,and pray to Him to give us good sense ,

Loosing mother natures beauty and precious lives we must pay  the penance .

Oh Lord Shiva  , I offer my  heart felt prayers  to you ,

The creator of this world  I bow my head in penance to you,

Forgive us for our greedy  deeds which destroy our soul ,

May those who lost their lives rest in peace in your divine abode .
