Nexus

So in class we are reading the book Divergent written by Veronica Roth. For our assignment we had to create our own faction ( in Divergent, when you turn 16 you pick a faction to live in and you never see your family again if you pick a different faction than the one you grew up in. Faction before blood). Anyway my faction was called Nexus. Nexus is Latin for connection and is what I was basing my faction on. Here is a poem I wrote about my faction.

What is to come of us when we are dead and gone?

We go our life divided by these chains we call our home

they separate us by choices we make

and those by we did not

If you were faced with a decision how will you decide?

with bravery or honesty

with peacefulness or selflessness

with intelligence or none?

These chains start to tighten

pulling you into binds you cannot escape

Thoughts and speculations explode in your mind

how will you be free?

Separate our people and this is what you get

the world collapsing in on itself

from rumours and suspicion

factions divided us

now we must connect again

all you need is the chance to choose

for you a different life

for when you are connected anything can happen
