Some have pledged that
they will not rest
until all lives
have been accounted for

i will never realise
the hell they must be in~
the sheer desperation
to fight against time
to rescue fallen brothers,

the explosive anxiety
as they tread cautiously,
apprehensive of collapsing rubble,

the frustration
to keep their morale high,

as their efforts do not match success
as dust and smoke hampen their progress
as nature mocks them and delivers pounding rain

the emotional scars
they bravely and willingly endure
at digging out charred body parts

i wish we are all telepathic
so that they can know
someone at the other end of the world
salutes their resilience
and is rooting for them

@faterider

much thanks to paladin's poem "dedicated to the rescuers"..their efforts are deeply appreciated

A daunting task so few us us are equipped for. How terrible to find merely parts of people and keep the hope of finding someone whole in this mess. God grant these heros peace at the end of this gruesome episode in the shame of man.

Thank you ...
it is heart breaking to watch the search~
We have to keep the vigil for those who do the searching~
Efforts of heroic proportions ...
though to them it is an act of 'brotherhood'.
God bless them all~

Yesh, I agree that this is sad, the efforts made are so touching. That the bonds of brotherhood does exist even when we thought the world is just a cold and real place.

And your poem dear, very well written. cant wait to have enough time to read all that you've written
