The ELM

By Annie Harte

She looked at her and longed for her bravery

She looked at this girl and prayed for her strength

She looked at that girl and cried for her smarts

By Yassir Laaroussi
 As I paint it to you, it was World War II,

We moved from Japan to L.A.,

They called us “Immigrant” and we knew we were in imminent danger of being imprisoned

The pain

Her pain

Made her hate who she was, what she was- 

Day to Day 

All to discourage her

People didn't understand 

By Kuba Thelemarck

One fight

One blade red with hatred

One’s done, life taken

Four run, One’s shakin’

Two scared, five dared

Two run, who cared

Two gone, one train

Two scared from pain
