Earthquakes

Do Look 
how such a small raindrop
Can make 
one such as me to flinch.

So think 
how some such one as me
Can make, 
with jump, 
the whole world twitch.

And if a few more jump with me
We’ll make the whole world shake.

But if I sit, 
I’ll never know 
that one like me 
can so create 

Earthquakes.
