Death - all door closed - on Earth quake

We fear all the life long
To that are we not strong
Are we right, are we wrong

But, we all has to face this fear
Be it us, or our nears
Some feel weak, some feel brave
On our beds to face death

My eyes are filled with tears
My heart is full of fear
But I cannot cry
C'oz I have to cheer
My brothers who have lost
Their dears and near

Here was once a bazaar
With people in hazaar
Some shopping, some singing
Their face were full of smiles
And worries away for miles
Their living had different style

Mens were busy in their trade
Children's were busy on parade
But now everything here is red
And once story about them said
But now they all lie dead

Scene changed within a minute
They did not have time even to panic

Houses and shops in a row
Went thump on the floor
And then for a moment there was a big uproar
People were drowning under the floor

Now there is nothing upright
People are full of fright
Once bazaar also lie quiet
Everything now is in rumble
People saved are trembled

It was a bad dream
And everywhere there is rescue team
To support, to save to rescue from their grave
As this task is brave
Before it is too late
To save few fortunate

And those who are saved
Even though they are not dead
But they still fear bed

We can now do things many
To help them with our source if any
And then we can still pray him hard
Not to throw again his wrath

And with hopes that we never again see his wrath
Let us all march
To support, to save them
To encourage them
And if this poetry of mine inspire even one
Then I think that my poetry has it work done


And to all those who has survived
For them this message of mine
That we love you, we need you
We greet you, to create
A whole new world
Full of happiness

Hope my dream comes true
May I join the saving crew
May I join the saving crew
