The Fall

Crack—in the wall, in tthe floor Echoes through the quad The school begins to fall Deep into the mud Smash—the broken windows And rip the ceiling tiles The school is swallowed by the Earth Hell has only just begun

I stand beside the crater Of what had been my week There's nothing left but dust and ash The hole is far too deep But even as my comfort Is swallowed up by dirt I set my shoulders, square my jaw And search for something else to hurt
