The News

by Aniwonder (im eleven yrs. old) - Virgo

Mom turns to the 
news.
Mom doesn't watch or 
pay attention.

I do watch

I see the pictures
feelings
faces
anger
depression
of people
killed
crying
dragged away
into police cars
beatened
hurt
praying
taken away un-willingly
away.

I hear the cries
shots
screams
rage
sobs
why's
what if's
no, it cant be happening's
and lots of
prayers to God or the Lord.

I feel the
anger
sadness
depression
rage
curiousness
wonderous
sorrowful
denying
feelings behind the 
tragic words
said.

I see the 
life-less newscaster
back on the screen

Mom grabs the 
remote.
And changes to 
Histeria 
as my 
sis wakes up.

Reason for writing:

    I am trully eleven years old and is tired of seeing how many deaths on the news everytime. Nothing really good happens like peace. I am tired and pissed that people still have things with your skin color or if you're "retarded". Violence exists all over the world. It leaves a life away. It makes us cry our hearts out. It makes us wonder about life. It makes us wondering, "Why did this have to happen?! WHY?!" 
I leave you readers out there of my words:
peace is us.
violence is us.
we are us.
we are our indivuals.
we are our own selves.
we are different.
we all are.
face it.
It's the human race.

PEACE
