WE NEED HELP!

We need help

theres catastrophic damage to the city.

with violence, sexual assault,

and trash sitting out in the open.

 

We need help

it's overcrowded,

exchanged money over dice games,

and more bullets in the rounds from a handgun.

 

This puts me in a tricky position

 that can be fixed

without money.

 

I'm in between the two extremes

of being at the bottom

and to having a chance of

rising to the rich world

which indeed,

 is a great victory

REFLECTION:

I've choosen these articles to make the poem because they caught my attention. Each story had something for me to use and went on and try my best to use the info. Also, I wanted to have competition to work with, so I got the most challenging articles. My poem has one thing to say about one of the articles which is that at hard times you might be at the bottom, but you have to try to do something to get yourself out. The poem was alittle hard to make because it to me almost fourtyfive minutes for me to right the first eight lines but, it all came through at the end. I thought if I couldn't come up with something easy, but then I thought about movies i've watched and things I seen around me and got influenced. I came so far to find something that was so easy that it took a long time to figure out.
