Sitting quietly
Waiting for instructions
Lunchtime over
Full bellies
JOLT!
Classroom rocking
Desks flying
Kids scrambling
The earth growling
Desks flying
Seats swinging
Computers thrown
Power gone
Netball courts cracking
Windows smashing
People terrified
Park splitting before our eyes
We wait
Hearts pumping
Nobody talking
Everyone in shock
Orders over the speaker
Looking for families
Avoiding cracks
Too scared to think
Everyone sitting
Sirens screaming
Hoping dad will arrive soon
Aftershocks terrifying
Taking rolls
Looking at the damage more aftershocks
People shaking uncontrollably
Talking with friends
Zigzagging past cracks
Aftershocks rocking cars
Silt covering roads
Central city munted
We may have lost our stuff but we still have each other!
