They thought it was lightning
Streaking across the night sky
Then a thundering blast shattered the silence
Women and children scampering by
Cries of fear and pain filled the still air
Men looking for lost families
Houses and dwelling turned to rubble
What should have been dinner time
Turned to time of untimely deaths
No matter how loud they screamed
No amount of their tears could stop
The cruelty, the atrocities of Man
And Mother Earth could only watch
In silent tears…….
