The Earthquake Poem by Sina Farajzadeh

The Earthquake

Rating: ★5.0


Shake! Shake! and make all awake
From sleep and rescue for God's sake.
The ground starts to move suddenly,
Everything begins to drop uncommonly.
The father earth, is stoping or dancing
The sons and daughters, are trembling
The earth is quite energetic and gay
We are upset and have nothing to say!
The old walls keep breaking down,
Cars would crash if they don't slow down.
We may die and be free of all kinds of pain
And still we try to stay calm or look sane.
