Inkling 2024 FINAL PT - Flipbook - Page 5
The next day, he will rise from bed
Stomach growling, waiting for his only meal in the evening
Trying to banish dead friends, siblings, cousins from his head
Knowing that they are gone, and he is still healing
When I say catastrophe, I don9t mean earthquakes
I mean the starving boy forced to eat dead birds
Do you think the hundreds gunned down were mistakes?
Your ignorance can9t be put into words
Somaia is the 1st place winner in
the Poetry category for this year9s
Teen Writing Contest.
