End the ICE Age
Yufei Dai, 13, South Burlington
America, the beautiful, place of the free,
where people from everywhere come to see,
to speak and love and create with others,
to live and laugh with our brothers and sisters.
The ICE Age comes, testing our strength,
our bloody history repeating at length.
Will our bonds tighten with the pain?
Or will they collapse under the strain?
I say, end the ICE Age!
