Not only yesterday's earthquake but all the earthquakes inspired me to write the verse.
I recollect when I was recuperating after my kidney cancer Mum went to the nearest shop but she didn't feel anything but looking at the chaos, people running out of buildings realized an earthquake had struck! It was the infamous Nepal earthquake whose tremors Delhi experienced. She ran back to the rented house to unlock the door because she left locking the door so that I am not disturbed.
It was the time when the landlord handed a court notice to vacate when I was diagnosed with an optico-thalamic tumor in brain and kidney cancer. But we fought and partially recovered then left.
Why do I feel dizzy can anyone tell?
An ill-fated entry began the troublesome magic spell
Inheriting the courage and delight of mum
She is my only companion and I stick to her like bubble gum
My entry to the planet was associated with shudders and trembles
The first tremor of the seismic event when I was sixteen days old!
I faced without grumbling the first jolt!
Doctors said chances of my survival were bleak
I unwittingly didn't collapse because I wasn't weak
The memorable incident of the first tremor
Had no clue of aftershocks, we thought it's fate's mischievous humor
Initial ones were imperceptible
In the landscape of life, others took it as a mild ripple
Mum's sharp eyes saw my timeline was seismologically unstable
Massive quakes were unavoidable
The upper story started shaking the whole structure
To preserve the solidity of the defective manufacture
The extra extension which popped up was taken down
One solitary gleam of joy remains in this bubble of quietness
My life is packed with troubles with a haunting silence
As I staggered through the redressing procedure
A crack ran along the way as the old ticker of my progenitor
Commenced to stutter but he withstood
But he became lankier
Life briefly oscillated putting me in a precarious position
Leading to a Rescue Mission
Along the fault line a savage slayer
Who thought himself to be important, seriously greater
Put a ticking bomb to trigger the mightiest of the tremors
While going to the emergency in pain, his swallowing gaze l remember
Devilishly clever was his acts of killing and gaining power
With nausea and remorse, hope began to shimmer
Hindsight reminded his elaborate frills terms which acted as cover
The soulless creature tried to demolish me
Facing with glee
I beckoned destiny
Made a little plan to perturb him
By not dying but living again
It may be a win over his phantasmagoric violence of the monster
I was the unwanted interference but I went onwards in vitality
Despite the distinctly disquieting sensation under my feet
Mum whose critical thinking and skills pulled me to my feet
As I was almost tumbling myself, into a dust mound
Living in lousy houses where landlords did hound
Clinging onto life, thinking about existence with no option of crying
Again got extensions hugging the lining of the upper story
And entanglement of the cables as we were unwary
I am fighting that by steering myself,
With her enormous courage balancing with mind and matter
Balancing with complacency, fear, concentrated cowardice, inertia, And cynicism, misanthropic bitterness, and indignation
A perfect recipe for demolition and annihilation.
We live in a realm where we can move things with our will and power
Journey through the wilderness, unaware,
Unconcerned about tomorrow,
Battle with blight motivated by mum's might
As she says. "Why fit in when you are born to stand out?"
Life starting with trouble didn't lead to a rubble
If you struggle without any grumble.
In one word its an excellent verse, how she compares her life with an earthquake reflects strong personality
