This is a poem created by taking words out of the book lies by Michael Grant.

Obscene Graffiti!

Smashed windows.

Warnings!

Barely visible in false moonlight, outlines.

Kids staggering.

Grass growing, and weeds forcing.

Trash not edible forming colorful collections.

Poignant reminders.

Darkness, no electricity.

Forever.

Batteries in short supply.

Fire burning!

No water.

Watching the fire burn!

California, no more.

The FAYZ.

Balls of light.

Sammy Suns.

Freaks!

A disease.

Always afraid.
