Kameron Evans Poem
A man of no thoughts
Till he met a little girl
Who told him what she thought
And completely transformed his world
A burner of books
Without a thought in his mind
Decided to take a chance
And leave his old life behind
He went to an old lady’s house
To burn the books and the house down
But stole one of the books
And The Collection of Shakespeare he found
He went home that night
And opened up the book
And to his surprise
His world is what it shook
His wife caught him reading
And called the department of fire
And the next thing he knew
He was stranded on a wire
But he still had his friends
Who helped him out
And got him out of this mess
Without a doubt
They gave him an earphone
And a chemical changer
To make sure
That he would stay out of danger
He started that night
Without his wife
But he and his friends left
With a new life.

Kameron Evans Poem
451 degrees Fahrenheit
The temperature at which paper burns
The flaming fire
The orange, red, and yellow colors blazing
The smoke that surrounds the flames
The same flames that are burning the pages of books
Along with the houses they are in
The people just standing there
Doing absolutely nothing
Watching their possessions turn to ashes
And their house burn to the ground
As the firemen feel no remorse
The citizens are happy
They know the rules
Therefore they have no books
But they also have no life
No thoughts
No cares
Unlike these brave people who read
And suffer for doing so
As they watch their books burn
At a temperature of 451 degrees Fahrenheit.

Kameron Evans Poem
The Family
They watch you as you watch them
On the walls
Like television
Only you interact
With a script in your hand
Reading along with them
And then your turn comes
They turn to you and say your name
And you say your line
And you feel like a part of something
The family says good job
Then moves on
They don’t ask how your day was
Or how you’re feeling
They just want you to say your line
But you don’t care
Because you have no life
You think this is what a real family is
But you have no clue
You just sit there watching walls
While saying what you’re told to
And you tell me that’s a family
If you think that’s a family
You know nothing
You don’t know a mom
Or a dad
Or what a conversation is for that matter
All you know is just a whole
A unit
All you know is
“The Family”
