Earthquake

Fear of the unknown

Looms above me

Dark times are imminent

It warns, silently

I feel its footsteps pound

A discordant march breaking the grounds.

Shake it off, they curtly say

I try my best, but it stays

The earth swiftly shudders from beneath

Torn bodies are strewn ahead rapidly!

I grab what I could call mine

IDs, to my broken mind

Nothing’s left for you here

Nothing’s left of you here

Had I really seen it come by?

Were there any signs I’d denied?

When your world is shaken, you’d believe

There was a lot you could’ve done, in grief

But, who am I to take a call?

We are all petty mortals, after all.
