Poem

“WOW” I said with expression

If I hadn’t been up here I would have died from depression

I was to busy getting excited and exploring up here

That I didn’t even worry about my fear

It was so magnificent looking at the stars and things in space

I went to see them all in such a fast pace

When I jumped it felt like I was in a cartoon

But I hope that I can come back soon

The issue I would protest over is the religious conflicts.

The issue about religious conflicts is that these people are the people of God and have done
nothing wrong. I think that people shouldn’t be judged on their religion,

This is important because I'm catholic and I want everyone to not fight.
