Owen Miskin took third place in the years 7/8/9 poetry/song lyrics category of the Wangaratta Young Writers Award with this piece. The competition is run annually by the Rotary Club of Appin Park Wangaratta and the Rotary Club of Wangaratta, and is supported by the Wangaratta Library. If you’re reading this we survived, Perhaps we thrived, But I am in the past, Time moves fast, May we all be dying and be born with the dead, Humanity shall rest its head, I don’t know how it will end, But it will make our humanity bend, The future holds the key, We may no longer be, But for those who wait, Thou shall know thy fate, He is around us, He is us, Death shall come on swift wings.
