Far Away Poem by Katie Porter

Far away,
Over the desert,
I hear them cry,
Why do they cry?
It can’t be that bad!

Far away,
Over the plains,
I hear them talk,
Why do they talk?
It can’t be that interesting.

Far away,
Over the woods,
I hear silence,
Why is there silence?
Where have they gone?

Far away,
In my mind,
They sneer,
Why do they sneer?
I have done no wrong!

Far away,
In the sun,
They beckon,
Why I should I go?
I am right!

Far away,
Out of sight,
I picture them smiling,
Why do they smile?
I can only guess!

I have died!
Do they not care?
