The ELM

By Miranda Brown

We can finally take a full breath of air without choking.
 We can see the dead bodies burned and smoking
We can finally see the truth and the battlefield. 

Facing it, always facing it, that’s the way to get through. Face it.
- Joseph Conrad

To overcome difficulties is to experience the full delight of existence.
- Arthur Schopenhauer

By John 'Mac' Spencer

You said take what you can grasp but not what you need
for I will not let you reach even though you plead

But you don’t know the difference between what we want and who we must feed

By Jessie Tornabe
 Why
Why what
Why must I be this color
Because
NO
This is me
No it isn’t
Yes it is
Fine
We want equal rights 
But men are better than women
That is not true

By Summer Clark
 The color of our skin
doesn't make us different 

You aren't superior 
because you think you're better than someone
 
Robbing someone of their life
