Disaster Poems
War and Hell at Par
by mv venkataraman
Wars make devils gladly dance,
Men have become their pawns,
Peace and love, God can enhance
But, men deny Him a chance.
-
Blood, blood, and everywhere blood,
Devil is clever with a cunning head,
Dear God, let wars be totally dead,
Due to war, only disasters flood.

A Monumental Disaster
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
The beautiful days were here again, as sunshine lit blue skies,
And I was happy with my work, which had seldom held surprise.
My job entailed overseeing, the raising of national monuments,
So that all could remember, a gilded past's glorious moments!
Today we were raising a statue, of one beloved national hero.
This caused media and fanfare, like sighting a sunset rainbow.
The crowds came out to watch, but were kept at a safe distance,

The Birth of Deluge
by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
A fent in the huge, rain-blooded gourd
of heaven pukes Deluge and dirt
upon these lands...
Angry heavens spit violently
downwards, towards hidden collieries of
harlotry — accompanied by Deluge and
white rage — satins of gold-lined thrones
become whited sepulchral flags.
War To Kill with Thrill ?
by mv venkataraman
Devil is war,
Evil acts are done,
Nil is peace,
Peril is severe,
Uphill is life,
Ill-deeds happen,
Thrill is lost,
Will is so bad,
"Kill" is its motto,
Fulfill deadly acts,
......
This Waste!
by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
Disconsolate clouds above us
Wince at the rib-image cracks of lightning.
Billowing smokes of ashes eddy at the
Foot of this huge necropolis, replete with hate.
We mourn the loss of lustres ...
This Waste!
With insidious revelry, rodomontade of
Stripped masquerades besiege the crevices of our brook;
Our daughters, near insane, eviscerate themselves of
Enlarged yolk...
