War

by Gwenna Coiley

Guns sound
Throbbing the large city
Fear is rising
Children scream
Terrible
Horrifying
How could this be happening?
Explosions kill many
Will it ever stop?
All the death that it brings
How could you support such a thing?
Never will it leave their minds
Haunting them
Forever.

Gwenna Coiley wrote War when she was 13 years old. She has lived on Lopez all her life. “My writing is inspired by everything that I see in the world around me.”
