The air is still
the birds stop singing.
The day goes silent,
When the bells cease ringing.

A distance low rumble
reaches the ear
Its impossible to discern
is it far or is it near.

The noise gets louder
the ground starts to shake,
As the buildings around you
dance to the quake.

People start screaming
And run for their lives,
But there’s nowhere to go
nowhere to hide

The roads heave up
the buildings fall down
Razed to the ground
Town upon town.

Thousands of humans
Buried in deep
Help is to late
Now a never ending sleep.
