Vijay Sai - Beast in Beas

Snow clad peaks
Grazing clouds
Glazing meadows
Weeping weather
Poking sunlight
Busy birds
So much to adore
Words struggling to express
Nature at its best
Where many students
On a study tour
In Himachal Pradesh
Enjoying lush greenery
Moving over river bed
On a slender stream
Of beautiful Beas
When all of a sudden
Many of them
Were swept away
Quite mercilessly
Gushing water
Running everywhere
Reservoir gates
Thrown open
Without any caution
Human error
Destroying altogether
Though authorities suspended
And immediate action taken
Loss of lives
Whom to answer?

Vijay Sai
