Earthquake
Earthquake broke out
Disaster came
No prevention but salvation
Fate is to be blamed or
God is to be blamed
Loss of properties
Deaths
Destructions to landscape
Countless and unpredictable
Where compensations won't work
Salvation will be
The most important part
They do their parts and
God will do the rest
People will come back when it's over
And life will start all over again
They have the courage to come back
But not the courage to leave the place vacant
Why
Just as puzzling as
Why should they suffer from an earthquake
For centuries
