“Help” by Paul Yoon

don’t

forget

the day

students left

this          earth

250 teens

don’t

have

a

future

their

future

􀁌􀁑􀁛􀁉􀁘􀁘􀁍􀁉􀁚􀁍􀁌

like a mist

their last cries

help        vanished

it          wasn’t         there

droplets           of           tears

from     the     parents

Don’t
