Poetry
A child the youngest was mother's heart. She longed so much for the youngest of her three when she planned to steal two of us from school and pick up the youngest while he played outside and did not get him because my sister wanted to walk in the school's Halloween parade. Her insistence on being in the parade through the timing off on nabbing all three of us. Hours later mom told her aunt she would trade my sister and me for my youngest brother. This poem reflects those thoughts.

Fear brings out the worst in us, it did to me. The youngest of three brothers is taken hostage by the new-and-unimproved government where he's reunited with his siblings, but only to awaken a different breed of problems born from this new ruling power. IMPORTANT NOTE: this was my 9th grade LA assignment from highschool lmao. I AM NOT A CONSERVATIVE, nor a republican. I'm a far leaning leftist, very much so. The point of the story was to bring up childhood trauma and be all edgy; and the political aspect was just me documenting how conservative people feel. With the whole "gay agenda" and everything. I saw white ppl acting crazy and saying stuff like that a lot as a kid, so I just wrote a lil thang. I realize that this aged horribly. Horribly. Um. It's not a political statement at all, or at least, it wasn't intended to be. Fck ice, fuck the orange guy, fck the island, and fck the underground cities. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
