Macie Lewis Poems

A moment of silence is announced
It lasts a lifetime
People convinced
We can't change a thing
...

I learned fear last night
Power had gone out
I had a flashlight
Small and teal
...

The crying mother appears on the screen.
'Not my baby, ' she screams,
As if it'll make a difference.
Her baby is dead, life ended
...

If the heat of a bullet
Ends my life,
Do something for me.
...
