Earthquake 2011

It's 12.51pm and I am sitting chatting to same friends The next minute the room starts swaying back and forward Chairs start falling, tables fall, and people screaming The whole room swaying like we were on a scary rollercoaster An unsafe rollercoaster Walking outside was like we had gone to war And no one had told us It was like we had bombs dropped on us Smoke from buildings fallen and from fires Houses downs Roads torn up People dead People buried alive People missing Someone was watching over me that day
