2004 Children's Scholarship Winner: Connor Mcnamee My name is Connor Mcnamee. I have a brother, two dogs and three cats. I love poetry, I feel very expressive through it. I also love music and basketball. In my free time I write poetry, read and lots of other activities. (Connor was eleven when we selected him for the Pandora's Collective Scholarship Award. Congratulations Connor!) Light I’m alone isolated in dark. No light all I can do is dream and wait hope for light but hope is faith, faith that has no answers. But then suddenly it sprouts through the cracks. Now pouring through a door opens. It has a name. Its name is God. It’s the light of my heart and Sin. Why? Why War? Why Death? Why anger and corruption? Why are people shooting and killing? People are just bugin! I’ll tell you why! It’s mankind! Say’n I’m God! “I can take life Break Life Make Life” But they don’t know that’s not the way. In the words of Marvin Gay “War is not the answer.” So I ask you why? Come on I’m waiting. Tell ME! That’s Right there’s No Answer. Back to the Winners page Home
