Last Night (poem)

[Dagobahn Eagle]

By Laura Jee

Last night,

someone died.

I didn't know him,

still,

I want to cry.

 

When I look

around my classroom,

it is more than halfway

filled with sorrow and tears.

 

Now,

that he has died,

everything will change.

One less person to graduate,

One less basketball player,

One less person to feed.

 

But, last night,

the biggest change of all,

there is one less star in the sky.

because last night,

was the night,

when 10,000 angels cried.

 

In loving memory of Michael, who I didn't get to know, but who's death affected many.
