Eighth <strong>Grade</strong> <strong>Writing</strong><br />
Fueled<br />
By Marcia Hans<br />
Fueled<br />
by a million<br />
man-made<br />
wings of fire –<br />
the rocket tore a tunnel<br />
through the sky –<br />
And everybody cheered.<br />
Fueled<br />
only by a thought from God –<br />
the seedling urged its way<br />
through the thicknesses of black—<br />
and as it pierced<br />
the heavy ceiling of soil<br />
and launched itself<br />
up into outer space—<br />
no<br />
one<br />
even<br />
clapped.<br />
