BUT I DO NOT KNOW

BY: AMY HATCH

Awakened by shouting
I wonder what’s going on
My brother right next to me
I notice how cold it is
But I do not know

My mom’s face is streaming with tears
The police officer has his gun drawn towards us
Before he realizes we are only children
My dad is getting pulled out of the car
But I do not know

The lights are flashing
Blue, red and white
The policemen’s flashlights are blinding
Are it hurts my eyes
But I do not know

They shove him in the back of their car
They take him away
And the stolen car
They leave my mom and us in some town far away from home
But I do not know
