  • WHAT HAPPENS IN LA

    by DANNY

    What happens in LA
    stays in LA,
    except for the bullets that
    fly. Those that stay in my brother’s
    arm.

    It’s 12:00am, and all I hear is
    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    My parents run to my room
    and hold me.

    My brother was downstairs,
    cooking.

    Everything was happening
    too fast.

    My emotions were everywhere.
    I was sad, scared, surprised.

    Out of nowhere we hear a scream.
    We ran downstairs and saw my brother
    had been shot.

    All he was doing
    was cooking!

    I had so many questions.
    Why did he get shot?
    Why are they shooting?

    The man with the gun
    was just looking right at me.

    Up to that point I’d never been
    so terrified. I thought
    he was going to shoot me,
    but he just left.

    Everything happens
    in LA.

  • NOT JUST FISH

    by MAJESTIC

    There are many things in a lake, but how about a salmon and a snapping turtle? My friends and I were going fishing when we decided that we wanted to fish with corn. When we had flung the rod into the water, the corn had fallen to the ground. So we decided to retry it.

  • RANDOM WORDS FROM THE HEART

    by JAYLEN

    Pizza in my mouth
    Books in my locker
    Heart in my ribcage
    Stove in my kitchen
    Spoon in my mouth
    Rainbow under a tree
    Door on my face
    Hand on someone’s face
    Peanut butter on jelly
    Lemonade on a roof
    Milky Way in my dream
    Faith in my heart.

  • WRECKING BALL, A PARODY

    by NIAYA

    We dumped, we threw
    Our trash and knew
    The wrong we were causing to.

    This world smells
    Bad and I’m so sad
    Just think of our future selves.

    Don’t you see my peeps
    This world really reeks
    and it’s all because of us.

    Can’t you see what
    We’ve become,
    Destroying what we’ve worked
    So hard to love?
    Don’t you wanna see
    Your kids grow up
    Or do you wanna
    Die of carbon dioxide,
    Just fall to the ground
    And die?

    And you’ll just wonder why
    Pollution leads to global warming
    And sea levels will rise

    Floods will appear,
    Everything will disappear
    And nothing will be left.

    Don’t say you’re sorry,
    You’re still doing the same thing,
    Trashing up your own place.

    Look at what we’ve done,
    Throwing trash and forgetting
    How it’s left a mark.

    This world has been through enough,
    Throwing all our trash out our cars.
    All of it piles up.

    And we’ll never see this world in peace
    And we’ll never see this world in peace

  • LIFE IS LIKE A VIDEO GAME

    by CHRISTOPHER

    Waking up like the game just loaded.
    Hear the alarm, shut it off and go back to sleep,
    Save my progress and wake up. Take a
    Shower, get dressed and brush my teeth
    Like a person playing me, wondering what’s next
    Today. Put on shoes, running to the bus
    stop like someone pressing A A A A A A A
    A A A Stop! I’m thinking. When I get
    On the bus, same thing, save all the progress
    That has been done. Coming to school, eating breakfast
    To refuel the energy. Going to class, time limit up
    On the screen. 30 29 28, till it gets to zero, I
    Made it on time. School work is like a mission,
    Don’t finish it – you get a F for fail. Gym – getting
    Fit, getting stronger and ready for life. Changing
    Clothes like getting ready to tell the president
    “we are going to war.” Lunch – refilling your energy.
    Science – learning how to survive on the land, like
    Making things that your body needs. Band – learning
    How to play, A button = high note, B button= low
    Note. Learn a little math. Socializing, in your
    Brain picking what to say. A = say something, B= say nothing.
    Social studies, learning about the world like on a
    Game picking which place to go. Last but not
    Least – get my stuff, save the game and come
    To Exclusive Ink.
