"Not knowing when I will be a number"

Volcanoes and earthquakes erupt along,
The weaker zones of the earth,
Along the circle of fire,
Ethnic issues, racial hatred,
Differences in caste and creed,
Create conflicting zones in the world,
A news reporter announcing,
The death toll for the day,
Said" I am giving the news,
Not knowing when I will be a number,
Life in these times have,
Become    more,  so    uncertain,
Human beings are virtually,
Reduced to a mere number.

(2014)

The poem delves on the uncertianities of modern life
