One of five poems that won a national gold award in the scholastic writing awards.
Laws of Motion
Here we are
No longer standing
We slouch,
Spines curving lower, expanding
         The reach of our fists and disbanding
The depths of our minds

We are
Letting our mouths speak louder and our
Minds speak less
Pretty girls giggling away
Their high IQ's
And
Sports stars tanking and slam dunking
Their straight A's

So let's look up, soon
‘Cause this world it's
Shook up,
                   Boom!
We are
         The future generation
And we gotta start thinking
         ‘Bout everybody's agitation
‘Cause while our minds are
                             Closing
Our chances to coexist, they're
                             Imploding
And for every action
         You know there's an opposite and equal
                                                           Reaction
So we gotta start asking
         If our harmony is imploding
                   In the here
                   In the now
                             Then what's gonna be
                                                 Exploding?
                                                                     Tomorrow,
                                                                                     POW!

*For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction--Newton's third law of motion.
