The Destruction of “Hope

We are at war…
…at war at Hope.
But when it comes to placing the blame,
We all should have our head dropped in shame.
This was suppose to have been a new year, with Obama being elected
It’s sad that our people don’t care about being rejected.
“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words could never hurt me”
But at John Hope, your safety can not be guaranteed.
As yet another year comes to a close
Allow us to take a moment of silence for all the lost souls.
This is for Andre and Bernie
The lost girls and money,
Because far to many people take life for granted
Then when they lose a few bucks, they have the nerves to run around frantic.
Loved ones should be cherished
While we adore those who has perished.
What has happened to the respect?
Has all love been ship wrecked?
Maybe some of these families need to start paying closer attention
Then maybe they wouldn’t have to complain about their son being in detention.
“We shall overcome…”
Or at least that’s what we try to believe in order to continue to have faith in this world, in which we are living in,
Would it be too much to ask my brothers and sisters to stop committing sins?
The one thing that we have to smile about is the fact that we lived another day
But then that’s it,
I have nothing else to say.
Of coarse life has its challenges and it’s sometimes get rough
Honestly,
It wouldn’t be as hard if we were somewhat tough.
So come together everyone
And look up at the sun.
Pray to God that the struggle ends
So that a new start can began…

  4. This poem had many relevant topic and touched on different situations that are occuring around us. It seems more personal because he can relate to these events because they go on in our school.
