Jacobs poetry

Jacobs english teacher entered his poem into a contest, and his poem was selected to be published. His poem will be published in the fall 2009 hardbound anthology A Celebration of Poets. All students in the class were inspired by M.C. Escher's Relativity.
The four corners of the world,
In their good times and bad times,
The relativity of us all,
In the game of survival on planet Earth,
Fighting
Loving,
Killing,
Caring,
The human beings not paying attention or giving respect to others,
And the ones that do give respect and care are not seen hidden in time,
But we are all related in some way.
Jacob Kovacevich, Grade 7
Tenaya Middle School, Ca.
