moving force
a busy town
feels the tremor of an earthquake
it violently shakes the ground
bringing down many buildings
a bridge nearby
has also collapsed
taking cars and people with it
everywhere you look
there is devastation
dust and debris fill the air
as buildings continue to collapse
people all aroound
crying
their tears
are of anguish and despair
as they look for their loved ones
screams can be heard
coming from the rubble
as people lay trapped within
this earthquake has left
a path of destruction
feels the tremor of an earthquake
it violently shakes the ground
bringing down many buildings
a bridge nearby
has also collapsed
taking cars and people with it
everywhere you look
there is devastation
dust and debris fill the air
as buildings continue to collapse
people all aroound
crying
their tears
are of anguish and despair
as they look for their loved ones
screams can be heard
coming from the rubble
as people lay trapped within
this earthquake has left
a path of destruction
