Nepal Quake: Coincidence or Reminder?
By Sara Altaf
The world is shaken,
By the shaking of Nepal
The destruction of buildings
The collapsing of homes
The loss of lives therein.
Is there a lesson?
Or
Was this incidence just a coincidence?
But how could it be a coincidence,
For we witness the world
As it remains discomposed by the tragedy.
We wonder
How did this happen?
An earthquake of such a magnitude!
Then another question creeps in our minds
An indispensable question.
“Why?”
“Why did it happen?”
Could there be a lesson for humanity?
For, surely, this is not the first time in history
That the land beneath us has trembled
That man-made infrastructure has crumbled
That our loved ones have suffered
Or even passed away.
Is any-One controlling
All that has occurred?
For we know the earth is just too majestic
To be moved by man.
Was this occurrence an awakening alert for mankind?
A reminder
That this life we live
This earth we stand on
Is not eternal.
There is a bigger reality.
The HereAfter.
The AfterLife.
It is a moment to reflect.
To snap out of heedlessness
To get back on track
And to prepare for the final quake,
That marks the beginning of the HereAfter.
