History Has its Eyes on You

-George Washington in Hamilton

It’s true.

It’s a message,

Though with a tune.

It shows us that 

Me

And you

Will be in history books.

Will be in history classes.

We will be spoken about

Our generation

As students

With this struggle

COVID-19 we are coming for you.

There will be plays about us

Songs written

Like they were in Hamilton.

Maybe we’ll be the next Alexander Hamilton

We will inspire.

We are the next generation.

History has its eyes on us.

The future.

  • Boat

    Friendship

    Is the best boat to board.
    But I don’t want to work hard
    To steer this boat
    If the ocean is fighting me.
    I want the ocean to respect me.
    This boat needs to be able to go both ways.
  • Some things glow

    Some things glow
    Under the light
    Of my LED light strips
    fading from purple to orange
    to red
    to yellow.

    Some things glow, like my neon mask
    or my soccer socks

    Like people
    Some people
    it's their moment
