Lunchtime over
Peacefully sitting
Waiting to learn
Quietly listening
BAM!
Ground cracking
Earth jolts
Wires swaying
Nature is furious
Desks thrown like paper
Board flying, Chairs smashing
Windows cracking
Maths table skidding
Doors swinging
Books zooming
Time stops!
No time to wait
Orders over the speaker
Walked out dodging stuff
Lining up in shock
Cuddling anybody
Quietly calming others
Everyone sitting
Watching silt piles grow
Aftershocks terrifying
Searching for damage
Talking with friends
Worried about the cracks under us
Praying together
Silt squelching
Zig zagging past falling houses
Central city destroyed
Earthquake destroying our hearts
It can’t destroy our souls!
