Earthquake
I feel this shaking will not end
I see people running here and there.
I hear screaming and crying,
but thank God, I am still alive
Earthquake! Earthquake!
I feel that the earth is moving
I see the people crying and screaming .
I hear people shouting and crying.
I touch the ground to stop the earthquake,
I smell spoiled bodies of man and animals
I taste sweat and the dust particles
I run from hostel to the ground.
Oh! earthquake!
The Feeling
Feeling afraid, when it shakes,
On a hot day, holding the ground
hearing everybody screaming and running
and making the clouds of dust.
Where to go, where to live?
falling houses and walls.
Oh! this Earthquake
I wonder why this day comes?
every night, feeling scared to sleep.
When will this stop?
I feel sorry for people with nothing
But I think I am lucky
to live another day!
