Let’s get up and rise, Fight for equal rights, Why are we so silent? Let’s go marching ahead and voice for Black Lives Let’s awaken our souls, And think about the courageous Martin Luther King Jr., who preached and practiced about freedom and equal rights. Let’s keep on going, onto the road for justice, which Floyd has left us to realize.

Invasion, a poem by Luca Butler, 12
Luca Butler, 12Austin, TX Invasion Luca Butler, 12 It began from some bats They say It will pass with time They say Stay indoors Dont go outside They say In China it began Some panic ahead No one knew It would come to this They ran They hid But soon it spread Everywhere there’s panic Not knowimg what to do There’s nowhere to hide There’s nowhere to It is everywhere People are sick Some are dying Hospitals overwhelmed People not knowing what to do Presidents in lockdown No friend for reasurance No visits from your grandma Grocery stores getting mobbed No food left for us Homeless in troube No going out of town Schools cancelled Doors shutting People turning on each other At the time when we need each other most of all And here I am Right in the middle Worried for my family Worried for my school And most of all Worried for Me
