All were in deep sleep.

Sun had begun to peep.

They were hours of dawn.

I was disturbed by my own yawn!

Cawing of crows sounded weird.

I grew thoughtful scratching my beard.

Ominous, sounded the street dog’s bark.

Suddenly, floor under was starting to crack.

Fan from the ceiling fell on my back.

Before I could realize, I went dark.

How long was I under the debris?

I will survive only if someone sees!

My heart was beating hard.

Feebly, I was praying god.

I was smothered by debris and dust.

To survive, I tried my level best.

Savior came in the form of clock!

Its ticking was sharply heard in the dark.

Foot steps were heard above.

Debris, the crane started to remove.

I could see streaks of sunlight.

I was pulled out by an armored knight!

Mother earth, how could you be a nightmare?

To kill and hurt your own, how did you dare?

Your quake and shake are disastrous.

That turns you in to a monster, most dangerous!
