Tragedies Shadow

Tragedies shadow

Looms large over the fallen

Raining blood and tears

Some choose to help, some to pray

Some choose to turn a blind eye

Or no choice at all

Afraid it might be too real

Who am I to judge

I cannot speak for others

As I do not know their pain

    It’s an amazing range of emotions you see in disasters like this. A surrealness to the event to if you haven’t seen or felt anything like it before.

      I feel myself very fortunate that I haven’t experienced something like this before and never to have to go through it. The many hurricanes I have been through in my life, pale in comparison to something as devastating as this.

        Worst for me was Superstorm Sandy. That doesn’t really compare.

        In my almost 40 years of living in New Jersey I am thankful that I never went through a storm as bad as Sandy, but I suppose your are right, it doesn’t compare to the destruction in Nepal.

        The storm was something new for the area. In fact, the last few big storms don’t seem to match the region.
