Earthquakes

Beneath me, the earth starts to tremble
The city’s crisis, crushed buildings and historic temples
I stand pondering when it will end
So, I can begin to heal and make amends
The ground trembles, and I stumble.
I thought it was over, but it's just the start
People start to run, they think they’re smart
The many piles of earth
I run while that path I’m on gets unearthed
I see the ground spilt apart.
My instincts awaken, I launch myself over the gash in the ground
I lose my senses as I glance all around
I stumble into darkness, I experience harm
A sudden pull, a tear in my arm
Limping, someone tugging me along the town.
I start to see again I don’t know if I was dead,
I open my eyes to see the ground and my arm covered in blood red,
I feel someone taping me, it was my Savior,
He was screaming to himself I hate you nature you always have such a bad behaviour.
We sat there crying for help hiding the dread.
