Homes Poem by Aldo Kraas

Yesterday
We had a big earthquake
In the city that we live
We had lost our homes
And our personal belongings
We are very sad about it
We are trying very hard to come to terms with it
But we are finding it very difficult to do
Tonight we are walking down the streets of our city
And searching for shelters also
Tonight we are comforting one another
Also we are caring for each other
Through this horrible thing
We never thought that such a horrible thing
Could happen to us
Tonight we are asking who can we blame?
Can we blame ourselves?
Can we blame God?
Can we blame mother nature?
Yes we can blame mother nature
Why is mother nature mad at us?
She is mad at us because we don't look after the earth
