Nina Dringo Poems

If you shriek loud enough
Maybe someone will hear you
And check if you are all right.
...

I am just walking
Walking slowly
Walking
...

Suicide is a sin
They say
But have they felt my pain?
...

How lovely the world is
In September

Warm air
...

Don't cry, child
For children starving far away
For homeless people on the streets
Begging for change.
...

Whoever hates gay people
Needs a wake up call
So here you go.
...

There will come a time
When I am the only one left
I can feel it
...

I have driven myself
Into the darkest hole imaginable
Where you cannot even dream of light
...

Watch out
All you ant squashers
Fly zappers
Spider killers
...

How amazing it is
That this planet exists at all
That we have air to breathe
Water to drink
...
