POEM STARTER
Write an elegy about the death of something other than a person.
An elegy is a sad poem, traditionally expressing sorrow for someone who has passed away.
The System
Sorrow
Pain
Depression
Cops filled my home
Lights everywhere
So many people like tiny ants
gathering around their queen
My dad lay motionless
So indolent the cops stand
I knew
I knew why no one cared
The cops shot him
He screamed
Bleed
For what felt like an eternity
They did nothing
Nothing
I took them to court
No one believes a teenager
The judge dismissed
The cops smirked
That’s moment my trust died
It died in the system
