Lurking Fear

Maybe someones alive.
Awake and praying for help.
Or maybe the people all died.
At this point no one can tell.
From the outside all appears rubble.
The walls have all crumbled and fell.
Building from standing to nothing.
Collapsed just at the lunch time bell.
Sirens in distance move closer.
Screaming and crying all around.
Moving and scrambling at this juncture.
All bodies no living yet found.
The dogs and people all search.
And machines dig through the night.
Because maybe someones alive.
Awake and praying for help.
