A silent cry...

The current death toll is 55 000 people.

Man is really helpless in the destructive face of nature, her fury once unleashed is fast, fatal and unforgiving.

Meanwhile, my countrymen are whining about holiday plans gone spoilt. For once, I have no more anger towards such said fellow citizens, what is left is only pity for the emptiness of their souless beings. Oh I forgot, Mammon and the God of Litigation Kuan Yew are their saviours.

Sigh.

Cries ringing out through the falling sky,

desperation and fear the only companions,

for hope hath forsaken the once lush land.

Foul stench permeates the tattered cloths,

lingering in the air, carcasses all, strewn about,

the clear blue sky, a ironic mockery.
