It was in 2008 i created this painting and wrote this poem along with it. With 1.1 billion people nobody cares about anybody. People's lives have little value.
Every year rain brought havoc,
Rivers always overflowing,
Big rivers like Kosi bring more misery,
Flooding is an every year affair.
Kosi had engulfed 16 districts in Bihar,
Hundreds of people were dead because of floods,
Kosi had deviated on its course,
People alive had become greedy.
Milk was selling for 300/litre,
Cookies were at 50/packet,
Rice was at 150/kg,
People had lost their houses.
40 Lakhs people were displaced,
80% live stocks were dead,
Cows were seen standing in 2 feet water and eating,
They may not last long to digest.
Government had announced 1000 Cr relief,
Everyone knew it never reached the needy in time,
1.15 lakh tone relief rice,
Will people really get it?
Jailbirds had vanished,
We could see people taking their young to safety,
Will they be safe from infections?
Will there be enough medicine?
India’s poorest people had become poorer?
Is it God’s will?
Is is people’s apathy towards fellow humans?
Governments did not reinforce the check dams?
People bother for themselves never for others lives!!!.
