The Flood

Neptune sends his servants of disaster

His trident commands the howling winds

Guides the hurricanes onto the lowlands

Striking hard on the southern province



Wild waves ramming on entire coastlines

The heavy storm comes in from the north west

Maximum velocity of nature

Elements seem to have coalesced



Levels exceeding

Continuing downpour

In combination of a tidal surge

Roaring and raving

Ravaging gates

Conditions persist to emerge

Signs of desperation

Out of the mainland

Vessels sending out their SOS

Wreckages sinking

Their fate was sealed

Impossible to aid them with success



Defenses breaking

Dikes crumbling down

No longer able to resist the force

Surprising havoc

Widening gaps

The conquesting flood shows no remorse

Villagers drowning

Life stock swept away

All communication broken down

Lost road connections

Buildings collapsed

Disappeared and overflown whole towns



Reconnoitering helicopters searching

Delivering supplies and bags of sand

Evacuating the dead and the living

As the sea withdraws from drained inland
