EVERYONE NEEDS HIM All the children play happtly in the street

ADDRESS TO A NATION "Laok now girls - something must be done!" There pursued a shuffle and a restless sigh' "You\e had your games and had your fun. Now I feel we should - somehow unify." "C.an't you sense the disappointment As you destroy their faith, their very standards?" Someone yawned; they didnl hear the plea of her Iament. "Wy can't we get out of the sun - those bastards." Then memory opened with thoughts of that to come And I sighed on the theme of her hurtmeant dictum. Give these rebels iust a few years more - ,4,nd they'll lrnow her meaning to its very core! M.I. For a moment my anger consumed me As I grappled with feelings beyond me.

On the footpath a lanely unwanted child dawdles There's no reason to hwry - there's no where to go. There's no one to love him, to hold him gently He is lost, lost in the rat+ace of a world ll/here no-one cares, all me too busy to notice him. How can anyone live in this world unloved I can't understand but then perlnps he isn't Unloved I mean: Perhaps there is someone. Perhaps he lives just to please that someone Perhaps everyone shoud have Him - who can't be lost Everyone needs someone to talk to - to understand. Fred VB

A woman gasps, screams in Pain - recovers summons courage and tries again. *te loves this tenor, yet is afraid, frightened of the present and the future. Another pain tears through her; Sharper, more piercing than the last. Sweat pours from her pulsating body. A ttny head appears. A cry. Hqpiness floods through her, her tired body relaxes A child is bom. Robyn Torney 5A
