Haiti

Earth shrugs
Humans cease
His creations crumble
Those safe in the Ark
And lived to tell the Byzantine tale
Of Mohen jo- daro and Harappa
Fail.
Beat their wings in the void.
And humans are back
To bickering.
Oh God, what fools we mortals be!

  4. Oh God, what fools we mortals be,
    When by our sides worlds cease to be,
    To believe we would remain immortal!
