Escape From Chaos : Narrative Poetry

written by Poet : Doctor-Write


Escape From Chaos

 

 

 

At night or the morning ,
it comes without warning .

You can’t run or escape when you’re in an earthquake ;

Mountains shake to the ground ,
tremors are going round .

There are no clothes to wear and everything’s laid bare . 

TV Camera crews capturing all the news    .

The foundations are cracked

The transports system wrecked  .

There’s no water , no food .

Things don’t look as they should .

No electricity all over the city , 

There’s no phones , there’s no gas ,

It all happens so fast  . 

Homes destroyed and lives lost but who will pay the cost

Of the insurance claims

 and missing peoples names are listed one by one

and rescuers have come   .

People they push and shove ,

others reach out with love .

There’s nowhere left to hide  .

You can’t turn back the tide 

when sea’s rise above you there’s nothing you can do .

Tsunami siren sounds .

People rush to high ground .

To get away from harm ,
hanging to someone’s arm ,

are the frightened and weak .

and those who cannot speak ,
or see , or understand .

Heading straight towards land  . 

Tsunamis crashing down  ,

washing away the town

200 miles an hour ,

Its an awesome power .

These huge ten metre waves .

No one but Jesus saves .

When everything’s dim ,
put all your trust in him .
