The Quake

A Poem by Seyi Ojenike

When the earth is shaken with a mighty quake,
And the earth throws forth her burdens,
And man cries: "What is the matter with her?"
On that Day she will relate all her news,
For your Lord would have commanded her (to do so).
On that Day men will go forth in varying states to be shown their deeds.
Then shall anyone who has done an atom's weight of good, see it;
And anyone who has done an atom's weight of evil, shall see it.
