Kim Shaw Poet Rhyme

Mighty Rumble

Mighty rumble
epic shake
Fault lines cracking
it's a quake!

Swaying streetlamps
breaking glass
Sidewalks rolling
smell of gas

Bridges groaning
wires snap!
Cars are falling
in the gap

So many lives, now
down the river
Bodies floating
some still shiver

Buildings crushing
muffled cries
Mother's wailing
children die

Killer earthquake
terrifies...
Civic heroes
riding by

Doctors, nurses
wipe their brows
Broken femurs
fractured skulls

All the armor
put to test
Broken city
laid to rest

Heaps of rubble
laughter gone
Naught but trouble
Soldier on...

All our prayers
just a token
Mother Earth, has
boldly spoken!
