Self-help comes handy in facing adversities...

Not that we don’t want to help
Not that we cannot hear the cries
Not that we don’t want to help
Not that we cannot feel the distress…

Self-help comes first
Self-help comes handy
Self-help help oneself first
Self-help help one to stand on his feet…

Sympathy and compassion
People hears your anguish needs
Loving and sharing your fears
Counting and soothing your tears…

Mentally be strong
Emotionally be strong
Your body hurts that I know
Under bricks and iron rods…

It is too difficult to accept
Such a sudden blow indeed
It is too difficult to accept
Millions of deaths and handicaps…

Casualties and fatal deaths
Be one young, old, rich or poor
What a tragedy so unexplained
What a sad thing so unexpected…

No words can convey
No prayers can replace
No money can recover the lost
The hurt, the lost, the suffering, the cost…

Our hearts bleed
Our minds shaken
Our body trembled
When the unstable rocks rumbled…

In spirit and prayers
In wishes to hasten recoveries
In monetary donations
In helps rendered so far…

Everyday, fight adversities…
Everyday, be mentally stronger
Everyday, be emotionally stronger
Remember, self-help fight adversities…
