Peaceful, quiet, relaxed
Waiting on the mat
Ready to learn
Listening to instructions
BANG!
Classroom rocking
Rumbling, growling
Crashing, roaring
Side to side
Earth shattering
Computers flying
Heaters swinging
Desks jumping
Chairs tipping
People screaming
Fan flying
Lights out
Pens rolling
It stops
Orders over speaker
Hearts pumping
Everyone shocked
Nobody talking
Lining up calmly
Looking for family or friends
Cuddling anybody
Everyone sitting, waiting and watching
Looking at damage
People shaking
Roads erupted
Talking to friends
Cars by the mile
Aftershocks terrifying
Cars tipping into holes
Silt splatters on the car window
Roads flooding with water by the minute
Streets now 4WD tracks
Silt rising
We will stand strong and proud.
