What happens when you spend your life, near a stormy and tempestuous coast,
Do you prepare for the hurricanes that may be in store, do you remain on your toes or do you coast?
Won't you make the shelters well in advance, and be on the lookout for Nature's fury clues,
Or will you sit complacent, closing your eyes, and wait for the time when disaster lets loose?
What happens when you need to build a house, in an earthquake prone seismic zone,
Do you lay pliable foundations and isolated bases, and watch closely for cracks in the stone?
Do you change the choice of material, shifting to wood, and minimize the damage if an event occurred,
Or do you remain nonchalant, and continue to build skyscrapers, ignoring safety norms, is that what you've heard?
What happens when you choose to build your house, near a river that is known to flood,
Do you ensure an elevated structure, with proper drainage, or are you ready to pay the price in blood?
Do you do a soil test, and refrain from filling the rivulets, so that the foundation during flood won't sink,
Do you keep a safe distance and watch the river level, or do you build your house on the very brink?
You chose to work with aspirants, under pressure and drenched in hormones, a disaster that is always waiting to unleash,
You don't prevent suicides by acting on the last minute, you have to sweat and lay structures in the times of peace.
