Best Poems Written by Jamie Martinez

Beneath the Shattered Sky

In a world filled with despair 
The smell of fear fills the air 
The world we once knew is far gone 
Debris from the blast litters every lawn 
They forced us all underground 
Advising us not to make a sound

We once lived the days through 
But they wanted something new 
A world with no war 
That of which they swore 
The world we lived in would soon be great 
We thought of this not knowing our fate

We walk along the only street 
The others are obsolete 
The bunker collapsed in on itself 
As if it was a broken shelf 
With nothing left to give 
We ask ourselves if we should still live
