Earthquake,shake

Shake, shake
I fall to the ground
Shake, shake
I hope to be found
Under the rumble here I lay
Under the rumble I hope not stay
I hear the screams but can not move
The screams fade as I do to
But to myself I have to prove
That I have enough hope
To get me through
“Shake, shake can you hear me sir,
your safe now, we’ve rescued you .”




Dedicated to the people from the Japanese earthquake that were recued after being buried under rubble for days .
