My Theme for English B Literary Response by Pateng Her
I remember the morning when the sun rises
I could not see the blue sky because my eyes blind
With the tears in my eyes
When my parents say good bye
I cannot believe the day they were murdered by three guys
They ride motorcycles to shut down my parents’ minds
The time I lost my guide
My world began to collide
My life is going to die
While I am still a child in the high tide
Their bodies become wind to fly into the sky
I wonder if I could be a guy?
Who fights to survive in life
Who dies for family
Who supports my siblings
Who loves my community
That is me, Pateng
twenty, born in Laos, went to Sikhottabong High School
Went to University of Laos, major in environmental science
Then became to the USA, went to the Global Language Institute in St. Paul
went to Wellstone International High School, will graduate on June 7
Plan to attend Minneapolis Community & Technical College, study liberal art
Then transfer to the University of Minnesota, major in pharmacy
That is my dream, Instructor

Theme for English B by Abdulkadir Mohamed
The dictator said,
Go home and take a gun
and kill that primitive young adult of this land.
He is wise and yet ignorant.
I wonder if it’s that simple?
I am a young primitive adult, belonging to this land.
I went to fight in Mogadishu, then Baydhabo, then here.
My father is a commoner, nature is my mother.
I am who I am, so what do you say?
I am the only cloud that covers you,
I am the wings of this land.
It’s not easy to know what’s true for you and me
I am who I am, the destruction of your integrity
I love to die but wait, not for your sake but of mine and our nation.
I write but you understand not, you have eyes yet you see none.
Should I still write?
For if I keep writing your blood circulation will stop.
We are both humans, but you are so different
You are colored, yet no one notices your color.
That’s our land, sometimes you might not want be part of,
no does it want to be part of you,
yet you are lucky because you are worthless.
Let me be your instructor, to be your investigator.
You dictate, destruct and delude,
So will my page shine your dark, dull and dust mind.
I guess you put the guns away, they are harmless to our land
yet harmful to you.
This is my gun, to kill the pests
and your vision is my mission.
Go home and take a gun
and kill that primitive young adult of this land.
He is wise and yet ignorant.
