Sheena-Kay Graham Poem
On a hill sits a mansion.
Resting on the wall within this mansion
is a family portrait of a
wealthy family of four.
Two parents, two children.
A mother with hair raven black
in a wonderful expensive
blue dress, a father in an
expensive classy black suit
with hair sunny blonde.
One son of year twelve
With hair like mother,
blue eyes of the father and
wearing a costly navy blue suit.
The last and youngest son with
hair like his father and
almond brown eyes like the mother.
He’s wearing a costly black suit
and like everyone else smiles with
perfect bright white teeth.
A perfect portrait for a seemingly
perfect rich family.
But a family portrait is
just a family portrait.
Only showing what the camera takes
Not what really goes on within this place.

Sheena-Kay Graham Poem
Great Father in heaven.
Why give us free will?
We’ve squandered it
And suffered for it.
Why, we have robots
Around now to control.
But they live better than
Us without their free will.
No dumb squabbles.
Robots just do their jobs.
Don’t need to hear the
Damaging daily gossip
Or to look out for the
Important bad news.
Or start wars just to
Steal weaker countries
Natural resources.
And sometimes even
The so called
‘peacemakers’ do these
things despite claiming
that they battle against
the corrupt.
Why have free will?
Because now that we’ve
Experienced it, we’ll
Never give it up.
Like the drowning man
Clutching unto his chest
Of golden treasure.
We’d rather die than let
Such a marvel be removed
From our hearts and minds.
Free will: The purpose of
The human race.
Free Will: The death of our
Very own dying race.
