WATER.... WATER EVERYWHERE!
by Ping B. Peralta
For ten days rain continued to pour
Houses floating everywhere and bodies of children too
Rescuers tried to help but lifeline were not secure
It gave way, it snapped and you know what to conclude.
No typhoon signals, yet water keeps raising
Streets has become small rivers
With makeshift boats, roaming around
Are we all in Venice now?
In evacuation center, people conglomerate
With instant drink and food to eat
Cold and shivering, they battle yet another fight
On how to survive in this test of fate.
With the big waves slamming their dwellings
Tons of garbage are thrown aback
To those who do not know how to segregate
And so people swim with these pile of waste.
Wastes stocked for days or two
Could led to a new problem too
Itchy foot, fever, diarrhea, dengue and flu
A new headache the government hard to undo.
