All the trinkets
That had so much cost
In the blink of an eye -
All was lost…
Millionaires turned to paupers
The poor were even worse hit
Nature extinguished the lights
That at, so much cost, were lit
Turkey and Syria two of the nations
Suffered the brunt of nature’s wrath
An earthquake devastated the land
So many dead – so many lost…
A lesson we learn from this
Is that tomorrow may surprise
It may snatch away everything
Or it may give a prize-
A child survives in the rubbles
An old man is found too
How did these miracles happen
No one has a clue
So let us learn a lesson
And end enmity and strife
Let us bow our heads
And thank God for our life
And may his mercy help to find
Many more lives to save
And may we learn a lesson
Of how, with mankind, to behave

Sounds prophetic
that was the last thing on my mind - just wrote what i felt.
You did cite it correctly. .
Most of the time .. humans do more harm to each other than nature .. It is shame when political elites plan a war, then project every aspect of their decision .. even the number of casualties. . Death toll..!
