Turn Back Time
Emily Kraus ‘22

Did you see the air
That shone with lights last night

The smog had blocked it out for you,
You’d known it wasn’t right

The wind it wreaked with pain
The rain just nature’s tears
The deluge tries to wash the scars

Of the past one-hundred years

I couldn’t see the moon Now You are Here

Or the stars high up above Emily Kraus ’22
Don’t you all think that it’s time
We show this world some love? You weren’t around for many years
But now you are here
You missed most of my growing up
Let’s go back to the past And now you are here
Before the smoke had a chokehold An accident brought you to your
On our beautiful, dying Earth
knees
A time of hope, a time of old.
And now you are here
Your broken-down life is in pieces
So now you are here
The son whom you thought would

take care of you now
Is no longer here
He got what he wanted when you
signed it his way
But light has come back into your
And now you are here

eyes
Now that you’re here
I now can sympathize
Now that you’re here

And so we move on and realize
Now that you’re here
You’re just where you were meant
to be
My grandfather...
Is...
who’s here
