Earthquake in Central Italy (L`Aquila, April 6,2009)
The earth- crust collides
The ground shakes
And those who sleep
awake with fright.
The earth opens her mouth
The buildings collapse
And those who are not
lucky enough are swallowed,
hidden and buried alive.
Who can predict nature
when it unleashes its
fury over humanity?
Fragile men and women are we
in absolute dependence
on God's mercy!
