  • BURGER

    by CURTIS

    Juicy red tomatoes fresh from the garden
    Tender, juicy, and delicious meat
    Freshly baked bread that seems like it never hardens
    It really seems like a tasty treat
    Spices and sauces that will blow your precious mind
    I think about it all the time
    If you add some fries you’ll be fine
    And you can top it off with some refreshing lemon lime

    After the scrumptious treat you might want to
    listen to some tunes
    Some relaxing, soothing, energetic, hyper, or some
    calming music to put you in the mood.
    Have you ever thought about how music can
    play a huge role in your life.
    It can determine if your choices
    are wrong or right.
    If you really look deep into it, music controls
    your personality, your attitude, your swag, the
    clothes on your back, and basically everything you do.

    If you go deeper in thought it controls
    the society we live in. If you go deeper it controls
    how people think of you and how you think of other
    people.
    If you go deeper it can control life or death

    If went this deep in an ocean you would drown
    to death.
    I will stop going so deep for now and give it a rest

    Now you’re probably so deep in thought about life,
    you probably want a delicious sandwich to tame
    you sudden starvation. so you go back and you eat your
    burger. And you think to yourself all of this from one
    bit of a burger.
    Brings a whole new meaning to you are what you eat.

  • THIS ONE SUMMER

    by DESTINY

    This one summer
    In particular
    was the best
    of them all.

    I hung with
    friends, went
    out to eat
    had Chinese
    we had a ball.

    The time I spent
    with all of my
    friends was so
    great I never wanted
    it to end.

    We did fun
    things every day.
    We danced and laughed
    and went to bed late.

  • BLACK STRIPE, WHITE STRIPE

    by ISIAH

    Forced to read literature about things unknown,
    like racism and segregation, to open my blind eyes to things I needed to know,
    learning about Malcolm and Martin fighting interracial crime
    like apartheid or the dark side or similar slavery in its prime,
    my view widened with knowledge of past problems explained in depth.
    Black culture grew as each page got flipped,
    and when people of different races said racist phrases I’d flip.
    I didn’t wanna know just one side because I’m racially mixed,
    so when I looked in the mirror I didn’t see a hypocrite.
    I’d read the wrongdoings of both sides in the ethical war,
    like the Black Panthers or KKK hunting for sport.
    I was oblivious to the treacherous ways of the past.
    But now I know the past and I live in the past’s future.
    No more judging—white doesn’t mean preppy, black doesn’t mean stupid.
    After I read that book, I know
    ignorance judges by the color of the blanket around the bones,
    and since I know I have black stripes and white stripes,
    you don’t have to be the same color as me to be my family or friend.

  • I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE

    by KYLA

    Abraham Lincoln gave speeches of Freedom, more complicated than a circumference. C=πr2 around the world. The Longitude and Prime Meridian. The latitude and the Equator. Hotter than China and dryer than concrete. Unlike a boat circuit of aquatic relaxation and reflection.

    Free time and Laziness to the Shimmering fountain in water. The sunset upon congress, Ben Franklin’s the star of it. The Bill of Rights and Constitution. A precedent used for Marbury vs. Madison. Wishing to swim in, the geographic circuit.

    It’s like a civil war and a fight for freedom. The puppy love for the star-spangled banner. My sweet land of liberty. Our Independence from Britain. Thomas Jefferson wrote the DOI, The Declaration of Independence.

    Our chance to the right of Justice, Law, and Liberty. It’s Independence Day America! have fun and be Free!
