Waiting to work
Quiet and calm
Roll taken
Lunchtime over
SMACK!
Rumbling
Mumbling
Splitting
Heaving
Growling
The ground colliding
Books flying
Heaters swinging
Computer smashing
Doors slamming
Desks flying
The Earth screaming
It stops
Nobody talks
Walk out in shock
Eyes white with fear
Hoping family will come
Will they be alive?
Will they be alive?
Teachers taking roll
Praying
Running home with Dad
Through the silt
Through the aftershocks
No shoes
Lost down holes
Trying to reach home
Running to my brother
Down but not out!
