Earthquakes

We're proud of things we're in control
Relaxed, at ease with daily cares.
We rule ourselves, no fear at all
As we juggle desires and money affairs.

We are not fazed by things that unnerve,
As long as these do not hit us home.
The wayward ones get what they deserve,
We send the needy where they come from.

But there are things we cannot handle
And these may come anytime to break
Our human pride and we find we're not able
To negotiate, deter, or cancel an earthquake.
