POEM ABOUT GENE FORRESTER
The Savage Underneath
by Jessica Wu
Forrester, Gene
He is not what he seems.
He’s intelligent and cautious
And the best friend of Finny.
Finny had talents
That Gene could only envy.
One day they decided to jump
In the river off The Tree.
But Finny had fell,
Was it an accident, or was it meant to be?
Months have passed.
It all seems like a bad dream,
That Finny can’t walk
But is this to blame on Gene?
Gene fears losing his friend
And realizes he soon needs to face reality.
That maybe Leper was right, that he could possibly be
a savage underneath.
