POEM:SOLDIERS CREED

I am an American Soldier.

I am a Warrior and a member of a team.

I serve the people of the United States, and live the Army Values.

I will always place the mission first.

I will never accept defeat.

I will never quit.

I will never leave a fallen comrade.

I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills.

I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.

I am an expert and I am a professional.

I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy, the enemies of the United States of America in close combat.

I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.

I am an American Soldier

POEM: Rifle Creed

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will...
My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit...
My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my rifle clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...
Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace

POEM: BEST Friend

I love my bestie

She can make my day good

make the sun shine

like her skin.

Semester #10

   America is one of the most diverse countries in all of the Western Hemisphere. The reason for this maybe because of the immigration into our country. Due the fact that most immigrants come from war torn or weak economy countries, I understand why they would say this is a great country. Yet, is America such a great country like they say? Personally, I think that is, in a way false from all of what I see.

 The reason why I say this is because as far as being a stable country, we are not one of those. Every time I watch the news I always hear how there is either a new problem with the economy, a corrupt official who is taking advantage of workers or his position, or how a crime is being committed. Now if we had better laws to prevent these things from happening, then I probably would change my mind. Though, that is not the only reason why I think America is not a great country. It also how we treat our own citizens when it comes to taking care of them.

  I say this because when you look at our health care situation, we are in the top forty’s instead the top ten categories when it comes to the country with the best health care. As well as even when we are one of the countries with the worst health care, we have a government that does not do one thing about it. Instead of helping people with injures, we discard them like trash. Instead of helping others who can’t fend for themselves, we drive them away like unwanted pets. So tell me how can we introduce others from different countries when we have not improved our own problems? Also we have a problem with our government officials that we elect for our offices, to only end up messing everything up.

   I mean every time officials take money away from those who are in debt and then try to blame the whole situation on either another official or on the people themselves. Not to mention that those officials take advantage of the immigrants the most. Due to the fact that their new to the country, it is easy to make them fall for new regulations and be taken advantage of because they do not know their rights as a legal American. Now do you think that is justice to people who obviously do not know that their being taken advantage of?  I don’t think sure do not think it is just.

 

  Now do not get me wrong on my judgment. I still believe that we are still a great country, just not a great one. Like I said in paragraphs, we have a lot of problems we need to solve. I think corrupt officials are a good place to start before anything. So, why not start now to solve the problems? Probably with a little action we can make this country great again.

Comparison of "IN OUR FATHER'S HOUSE" & " For COlored Girls"

In the two plays, the plot focuses on women who are trying to gain respect as well as rights that before they would not have had. The stories settings are much alike in the sense that they match the moods of the characters. Example , whenever any of the charcters was going through a tragic time or a sad memory, the whole setting becomes darker than it was before.  Another comparison  of  the two plays is that  both have to do with the advancement of women as well as the gratitude that should be given t women in general.

POEM: L.A.

Loving you is as a man breathing in fresh sweet air

Only you is who I try and better myself

Solem am I in your presence


Acting as if I dont care makes me look dumb

Nothing changes my feelings towards you

Gracious death is the only thing that can take me a way from you

Everything I have in my life is because of you

Listening to your voice brings my soul into a state of fire

Everbody knows about you and I

Seeing if I can stay with you forever.

POEM:The Big Easy

Trumpets blow with soul

With a goal to know how much time you will be staying

Not worrying how much they will be paying in a way of saying we care.

Not knowing about here or there , just now and how to make a day of troubles become

a rainbow tub of bubbles and pebbles with love in a pot of gumbo

POEM: Closer

Missing the frangrance of your skin makes me weak

My head burns from the thoughts of your body slowly touching mine

hmmmm, more like the Eifel Tower. And this all because of the

Absence of you.

Anothr reason is because of the beautiful women that live on the island. The last place I would love to got to is Dubai.

Tell an outdoors guy about an apartment

An apartment in the city is the greatest thing to have . When you live in an apartment you have alot of advantages than other people. One of the things you have is the ability to live close to the city in the first place. Most apartments actually are located close to cities; either a 10 miles or less. While if you live in the condos in the suburb, you have to travel 20 or moe miles just to get to the outskirts of the city. Another great thing is that you dont have to pay a huge amount of money for the apartment. Most of the apartments only cost about $ 628 or less while a condo is a lot more

And the music to become strange to me

See the youngsters dance

Poem

Die did a great warrior

Africa beats in my heart

Wrapped in a baboon's fur

With the voice of the lion that leads me to its heart

It is the pride that roams the savanah

The gun that covers us all

The root to our freedom

Figure Of Speech

Love is a cancer that infects

Clothed with happy and folly

yet will lead me to dark despair

Love is a cancer that kills

showing me to a place of no return

wrapping in dead flowers

POem

A death in the family leaves a void that cannot be filled. No one can ever take the place of this individual in the world. We should not try to comfort the family by saying that "it was his time anyway", or, "he was suffering". These may be words of comfort later. However, there must be time to mourn the fact that things will never be the same. One minute he was here and now he is gone. The human mind must be allowed to sit with this reality. Mourning is a necessary part of the human experience. If it is ignored, a general feeling of sadness may pervade the whole family

Semester# 9

SEMESTER # 9

Do you believe in extraterrestrial life exist?

    In this century the question of is there another life beyond our galaxy is the most asked question of all. Of course people would say no there is no possible way there could be. Yet if you look at the past evidence that has happened to us for the past twenty or so years , you will see a number of proofs that may be a thought changer. So is there extraterrestrial life in our or another universe? I personally say yes there is.

     Now I know that most of you will say that there couldn’t possibly be another form of life out there in the universe. You might say that because of all the planets in our universe has no oxygen. But think about a fish in water, which can breathe in an ocean. They have the ability to breathe in an environment that we can’t unless we have an air tank on our backs. Basically, I’m saying that just because we can’t breathe in the air on a planet doesn’t mean another life form can’t. Especially with all the evidence that we are getting from Mars with its polar ice caps and dried out water lakes, what’s there stop us from believing?

     Other evidence of there being a possibility of alien life forms is of course the lunar sightings in the desert. In every generation, there have been people constantly stating sights of strange creatures and lunar modules. But it’s not just sightings that are turning when talk of aliens come up in the matter. Video tapes, actual abducted people, and findings of heavily magnetic pieces of metal found in deserts. Not mention also top secret military bases that hold in secret items that they will let no one see. It must be something that is so mysterious that the government won’t even let us see it.

    Another piece of evidence that brings up a good point is our ancient civilizations. When we look at Egypt, Central America, and England, they all have things that cannot be explained or more specific a monument. In Egypt, the Pyramids of Giza are one of the most baffling monuments in Cairo. How were people able to create a tomb that size without the help of mathematics or high technological objects? The only answer available is aliens helped with the building project. They must have also helped with the Stonehenge site as well as the Mayan temples around South America. So let me ask you now, do you believe?

     Now I’m not fully sure that we’ll ever come into contact with an alien race or not, but I don’t rule out the possibility that we just might. It might not be during my generation, but one day it will come to us when we least expect it to happen. Yet until then I guess we will just have to keep dwelling on the matter of whether there aliens.

Smester #7

  When looking for homes, people will always ask which type of area is better to live in. Most people seem to be in the middle when the subject comes down to cities or country. Well, I personally believe that the city is better than any thing in the world. Now I will admit that there are some bad things about cities like gangs, corruption, and etc. Yet, there are good things that make the city attractive.

   One of the attractions of a city is its many great sights and activities. For example, in Los Angeles the Hollywood sign and Chinese Theater are the sights that bring the most tourism. With Las Vegas, The Strip is almost the heart of the city because of all the tourist and locals who have been attracted to the sight. And as for New York, The Statue of Liberty is not only the biggest sights for tourist but t he embodiment of the U.S.

    Another thing about cities is of course its shopping malls and stores. In every city, the stores are always packed with people and even so famous stars. In major cities, clothes most of the time come from exotic places that make clothes, instruments, delicious candies and assortments. In a way, these stores broaden your horizon on how life is and how it can be. Maybe even make you want to change what you want to be in life.

   Not only do clothes and stores make a city great, but it’s art as well. In cities like L.A. and New York art thrives from its veins. Whether if it is graffiti, papier-mâché, clay, or a full on portrait, the city always provides a new type of art. Almost everyone in a city is an artist or does some type of art like game design or fashion. Though there is only one real big purpose for living in a bustling city. That reason is the people who live in it.

     I have never met people who are so friendly to everyone than I have in the city. The best part about it is that you get to know so many of them. You get to learn their culture, their experiences, their stories, their sadness and their happiness, and why they are your friends. If I leaved in the country I would probably have either a few friends or no friends at all due to the geography. I personally believe that God has blessed me with being in a city in which I can have an abundance of friends. So, I would suggest to you that when you are looking for houses or condos, come to a city that can provide you with that and much more. Because I believe that once you live in a glorious city like L.A. or New York, you will have the biggest trouble leaving it for the rest of your long glorious life to come.
