Rupture

Early morning rumbling sound
As shouting people run around
Remembering the former bout
Trembling world near wiped us out
Hoping soon the nightmare ends
Quivering, quaking terrain bends
Underneath the fallen land
Aftershocks almost as grand
Kneeling down we hope and pray
Earthquake's terror goes away

Hi Randy, you've captured so much in this acrostic on earthquakes-- Japan definitely came to mind and the recent earthquake again-- You are right, we all could hope and pray... thanks for sharing...
