middle school poetry contest�������������������������

We offered a poetry contest to the Middle School in the spirit of this ROCK issue's theme of Community, wanting more than just high schoolers' input and ideas for the magazine. This year's winner was Claire Millet's rhyme poem based on the topic of community as shown through brothers and sisters in Christ.

May we come together in mind of our unity And reach the goal of becoming a community The fool breaches a wayward, blind eye And leaves his humanity to die For those who live a life alone live a short life of the naive Grown up on the outside but inside lives lacking maturity May we live together with love as our rock-hard dream And reach the goal of becoming a community The fool will dream of un-sacred dreams With unity of none to be seen The fool always reaches for isolations as an unearned must And lives a life with everlasting fear and none to give your trust May we, brothers and sisters, come together with a purity And, with the Lord, reach the goal of becoming a community
