WAR

WAR
Selected By Paulo Alfaro

Description
War has no rules. Most of the times it starts thanks to disagreements and end up with massive amounts of death. War is everywhere around the world. It is very hard to control once it has started. Peace is what people are looking for, and war is what people are trying to avoid.

Snowfall White- Benjamin Moore OC-118

The earth shakes
in Cristmas eve

The Johnsons
ran,
but it was
already
too late

The snow
had arrived
the time
had ran out

The mom
the dad
and the daughted had
died. Exept-

the boy
the young
and innocent
boy
who's family
had died
thanks to the avalanche

Was trapped
in the kitchen
finding him
would be like
finding a
neddle in a
haystack.

confused
and
scared,
the boy could
do nothing

Days past
and the food
was running out

Without precausion,
he kept on
eating
and drinking

Until
finally
the food
ran out

Now,
the
super
scared
small
boy,
was
dead.

Beast From Water (found poem)

Ralph,
unaccountably angry,
could do
nothing

Assembly after assembly
had broken
in laughter

They decide things
but,
they don't get done

Ralph,
unaccountably angry,
could do
nothing

Ralph shouted
and the last laugh
died away,
argument started again

The assembly
had broken

Ralph's anger was
like the deepness
of the ocean

The littleluns
were scared

But Jack
and the hunters
were crazy and fearless

The assembly
had broken

At the end,
three boys
stood in the darkness
powerless.
