The Earthquake Poem by Sherif Monem

Powerful earthquake comes
Strongly shaking the land
There is enormous fear
There is wild panic
Great much felt horror
Buildings sway and sway
Men, women and children
run fast and further away
All they can to escape
for safe haven and refuge
Lot of prayers and hope
cries calling for help
Seconds over more seconds
Hardly a minute passed
It is now all over
Seems it lasted forever
Thee violent moments
How relief at present
When the shaking stops
There are many stories
Of all what happened
Search between rubbles
of collapsed dwellings
for ones who got buried
for injured and the dead
This is the tragic end
