What’s out there
I wonder
Deep down, dark and dank
Drawing for me a blank
What’s out there
Nothing to be seen
Don’t know what to expect
What does it all mean
What’s out there
Giving me no clue
What do I do
It’s covering the blue
What’s out there
What I don’t know scares me
Forcing me to believe
There’s something there to beware
What’s out there
The darkness looks down on me
It’s dark eyes like colorless balls of light
Lighting up my fear as I sleep every night.
Whats out there?

We will fly Across ocean and sea You on a plane Sitting next to me. To Paris and Frankfurt Amsterdam and Madrid Barcelona and Geneva Flying like the air whizzing past what we did. We walk many ways on white wet stones They remember our feet And when we come back again They remember the meet. Across the ocean and sea Me and you, You and me The whole 10,000 more miles, my son You will be sitting with me.
I am a Mockingbird
Singing my song
In the morning I wake you
You hear my beautiful voice
All day long
I am an eagle
Soaring on strong wings
Beating and beating
making the wind sing
I am a bird
Using my head
I’m able to plan and execute
My knowledge is always fed.
Our topic is poverty. We chose this topic for a number of reasons. First it was something that our entire group thought was a worldwide issue and we all had knowledge on the subject. Secondly, it is a topic that needs to be opened to the eyes of others. Poverty is something that affects people around the world. Some people who don’t see the effects of poverty everyday don’t understand how big of an issue it is. And that is why we wrote this poem. To show the world that living with a small two story house with food and water is more than some people will ever have.
