Literary Orphans

TEEN SPIRIT: Red Sunset by Bella Thompson-Lobb

Treading through snow is more sad than it seems

Blood against white, threads pulling at the seams

Difference is better is what everyone thought

But grieving is really the worst of all

Evil against good, which side will you choose

For tears are worn for fear, all glossy and blue

The gates are closed, all doors are shut

So people disappear, one by one

Picked out by danger, picked out by your son

Your husband sets his eyes on you, all filled with love

But off he goes once more, into the blue

Olive green grass he finds, then desert and sand

To find the person to lend a hand

So sad it must seem, leaving your life behind

But to save your people is what you desire most

Off he goes, deep under the sun

Shocking it may seem to those who hate it most

But some endings happen badly

All ash and remains and snow

Treading through the undergrowth, all dirty and disgusting

But what happens next is for you to decide

The distance may precede
