Love Just Is
by Elana Floriani IA
Why do people reject love from others?
Today, that is the question on my mind.
Were they broken by dishonest lovers,
Or do they think that I am just unkind?
She was the light in my miserable life
And I never really knew what to say.
Black lines under eyes, an immature strife,
Our emotions always got in the way.
Yet while wandering in my misery
Another, my true bright sun, crossed my path.
I found my way with her, no bad history
Love beyond reason, knowing like telepaths.
Silence that used to cut me to the core,
Now gone, replaced by kisses I adore.
War
by Liana Caprera IA
What was once a beautiful sunny sky,
Is now blackened by the dusty coloured clouds.
Children that were once able to walk by,
Are now escaping, screaming very loud.
War. An abusive, lying, endless game.
Everywhere I turn, people are dying.
People that fight this war are full of shame.
Their families are at home crying.
When a soldier comes from the battlefield,
Families celebrate, rejoice with glee.
He may be scratched from the lack of a shield,
But now that he is home, he’s free, free, free!
Though the sky may not always be blue,
Just know these people fight to protect you.
