KEDARNATH PILGRIMAGE (UTTARAKHAD TRAGEDY, INDIA )

And  who  failed  finally ?
Is  it  human  faith  and  devotion--or
is it  Administrative  Failure
and   ' Pro-active-  lapse'
Or   --is  it
God   failed  finally
in  protecting   devotees  in  final shape !

Countess  Questions   Rise  and  fall
Boundless  hope  and  faith  almost
crashed  down  flat
with  ten-s  of  thousand-s  of    trapped
and   starving  souls
beside  the   open  naked   graveyard
of  thousand  or  more --
all  Dead  and  melting
defaced  !

What  remains  strong  and  stable , I think , and  yet
is  the  game  of  Politics   with  cemented   stance
 blaming  each  other ; even  at   lunch-time  break

Temples  and  pilgrims  -all
weeping loud  in-spite  of  stable  faith
trapped  and  besieged  like  en-caged  souls
still  praying  hard !
