Pier in the Lake

by Gyu Jeong L., grade 8


Now the peace is gone
A pier is built upon me
Over my transparent body
And I'm burning in pain

Now the peace is gone
The pier fully built
and fisher comes to fish
I can predict something bad is going to happen

Now the peace is gone
Many kids are kidnapped
Many lose their homes
Many lose everything they have

Now the peace is gone
Fish struggle to survive
some don't get to live long
Some don't even get the chance to live the world

Now the peace is gone
Now traps are set too
and more are taken too
And my body now is a death trap

Now the peace is gone
Little are left
and the rest is gone
Still, the destroyers want more

Now the peace is gone
they abandon my body
and search for a better place
my soul follows them

Now the peace is gone
Everything changes
Day by day
year by year

Now the peace is gone
No more fishes come here
Still more traps are set
Even more dangerous than before

Now the peace is gone
As the time passes
The fishermen are gone
But so does the fish

Now the peace is gone
No more fishes here or there
No fishermen near here too
Still the peace is not here

There´s nothing in my body
Nothing, only traps
Deadly traps that will catch any fish
Now the peace is gone
And so is my soul
and death came here
