Haiti hit by earthquakeStones thrown to Malaysia
Glass splinters off
the gurdwara
and shards
find their way
to the dungeons, the brothels
of Cambodia.
There, if the earth quakes
and a million sighs escape
Death equates
to freedom.

Sweet Shaista you are brilliant.
I didn't know Hadith meant that, I thought it was a book or a writer.
You are so clever.
Pray for the people around the world dear sister.

Well done Shaista. I've been trying to complete a poem about this for the last 24 hours, and I know how difficult it is.
My heart and prayers go out to all the families touched by this horrific disaster.
Earthquakes are so terrifying. In the past couple of weeks, we've had two near us in northern CA. One, about 4.6, I felt as I worked at my computer one morning. I waited a second to see if I should run outside...my room is downstairs and I always fear the house will fall on me. After a short roll, things stopped so I kept typing away. The second quake, a 6.8, I believe, was offshore. It caused a bit of damage but it would have been much worse had it been on land.
My heart goes out to the Haitians.
When the very earth under your feet rumbles, life can change forever.
Your words paint a thousand pictures.
wonderful poem - my thoughts are with those whose lives have been affected.
