Pamela’s winning poem is below:

 Adrenaline on high
 We want to be 
 In the know

 We may be told,
 “Be ready!”
 We want to stay,
 Afraid to leave
 We may be told 
 “You have to go.” 
 We want to be
 In the know

 Alert systems
 Change year to year
 We want the best to inform.
 Land lines don’t get texts
 Fear runs thick and dense
 What if I don’t know?

 The body wants safety
 The mind control
 The heart security
 Please, 
 Put us in the know

 Scanner sites.
 Social media.
 Friends that call.
 Neighbors that come.
 Local radio.
 Help us to know.
 We want guidance 
 To be
 In the know
