Demolishing

A big building suddenly crushes down,
at first the explosion goes to the core,
half of the tumbling then is straight downward
before the whole demolishing begins.

Pushers, breakers, scrapers stand together
and some demolishing hammers sling mauling,
are shattering some concrete, glass and brick
try to bring order with their roaring thunder.

There is suddenly total silence
with only a creaking crane still swinging,
when the commander has to ascertain,
turns to his group of subordinates,
gives commands to do further judgement
to break down everything to only dust.
