The Union Prevails
Leandra Lugo Soto
Grade: 11
It was a mournful morning,
devastation took its toll.
Tempestuous and ferocious,
she was an unwanted visitor.
Water falls of tears,
deteriorate hearts.
Broken homes, broken lives.
Oh, what a nightmare was about to start.
The Poor eating breadcrumbs,
Government holding by supplies.
Ten hours making a line,
just to get a little of gasoline.
No thoughts in my head,
only thinking about the dead.
Sixty-four deaths, They say?
I’m sure just counting the ones in Cayey.
The Government keeps lying,
even in these difficult times!
Two thousand nine hundred and seventy-five!
Is the real number that did not survive.
Union overflowed our community,
as sand abounds on our beaches.
Unity entered our hearts,
as Colon entered Borinken
