Earthquake

Earth’s tectonic plates rub,
An earthquake can make a city look smug.
Ridiculous death tolls and damage,
Tsunamis hitting shorelines, the damage is worse than the taste of cabbage.
Hearing about love ones deaths is awful,
Quaking and shaking is something to be ready for.
Using seismographs may help us,
A seismograph could even save a bus.
Killed in a quake is bad,
Earthquakes and their damage is really sad.
