The earth once again trembles
the Tibetan plateau now fumbles
the quake is powerful
shatters the equanimity to a doleful
the cries and shouts pierce the ears
buildings big and small crash causing a fear
death looms large all around
the hurt murmur with a sound
heart rending to see the turmoil
the uproots expose the soil
there are big trenches in between
the quake makes one all but too keen
a fear mounts up in a steady motion
thousands die as the plateau remains frozen.
