— A poem by me —

Today was the day
The one was chosen
A day to smile
And a day to live

I washed my face
And brushed my teeth
Ran out the door
And went to the square

I signed the card
Placed it in
Waited a while
For the drawing to being

Sitting there, it seemed like hours
Name after name placed in the pot
But finally it was time
And a man stepped up

He reached In deep
Pulled out a card
Opens it up and looks it over
A name rang threw the crowd

It swepped threw
Swiftly past
I could hear it loud and clear
That name was me

No I screamed
Then I was pushed forward
A sacrifice must be made
My luck was over
