Page 9 THE VOICE November, 1980 Swann In The Endzone It looked extremely shaky For the Pittsburgh team that day The score was 24 to 19 Less than two minutes left to play So when Harris missed the first down And Bleier did the same The fans yelled at Coach Noll He was the man to blame For they knew; if only Bradshaw Could throw the ball to Swann There'd be no doubt about it Pittsburgh would have the game won To avoid losing yardage, Bradshaw ran the ball himself Now, the Steelers were in trouble With only sixty seconds left. it was a hurry-up offense While the defense took its' time Then Bradshaw zipped the ball to Smith And advanced to the 20- yard line. So now they had a first down But time was running out Forty seconds left on the clock Just a few more plays no doubt From the stands black with people. There went up a joyousyell It was heard throughout Pittsburgh "No way Bradwhaw could fail!” The Steelers' fans were happy To see the man in ”88" Swann was the man to do the job They hoped he wasn't too late. Send Your Literary Works To: Student Center Newspaper Room Editor: Valery Frazier by Donna J. Highsmith There was ease i n Bradshaw's manner As he called the next play He had reassured Swann The ball would be going his way But the defensive unit read the play And broke through the offensive line Forcing Bradshaw to change his plans And throw to the man in ”89.” A first down on theten yard line With just twenty seconds more If the Steelers were to win the game. Six points, they'd have to score So in the closing seconds, Bradshaw drew back his arm Guess who was in the endzone No otherthan Lynn Swann! For some unearthly reason The Union by Chuck King Lounging around under air condition, Relaxed in a personal conversation. Some hustle and bustle yes mass confusion. Just some of the happenings in the union. Backgammon players all over the Flo "Jeffersons" on T.V.— the popular show. Meeting new friends is oh but a dream. Sleep, play ping pong, or stare far away Stuff candy bars and junk food inside you all day. Some even study or do last night's homework, others make conversa tion 'bout a split in a skirt. In comes one with looks of anticipation. To Dabble and Fondle a Romantic Relation. This place is a loaded Clashing Revolution, Yet still is known as the student union. Something Personal To Say? Whisper It In Our Classifieds He couldn't hold on to the ball Bradshaw signaled to the referee And a time out was called Just five seconds on the clock And still ten yards away Perhaps Swann wasn't the guy Meant to save the day The two teams lined up one last time Bradshaw called the final play All of his receivers were covered, But there was Harris, nine yards away. Bradshaw didn't hesitate There wasn't too much time The terrible towels began to wave As Harris stepped across the line. While There’s Time by Aaron T. Williams ”KAREEM" Things to be done in your life time Places to go before it's done People to see before you close your eyes And never again see the sun. People you have to forgive And people that have to forgive you For the things we havesaid and done Especially the things that are true. While there's time you can experience What life is all about The qualities and cares of this world. Including the unforgetting doubt. There is time to do a good deed If never done one before By helping someone in desperate Need before the final score. There's time to enjoy your family Especially Mom and Dad Tell them about the Exper ience When you were so sad. While there's time, we should cherish it, It might bring peace and joy. It might bring a lot of hassles But while there's time, we should enjoy. The Loneliness of Dawn by Vincent John Hall My mind pondered the thought of total perfection. However, what good would it do if this was my own special reality Unknowing to others? Lonliness brings on con tempt and that's a negative State of mind Insight and the pleasure of thought Is beyond human comprehension I wish I was the king of my unconsciousness Then I would be able to make sense Of the many irrational motives and actions of my cursed race. I wonder how it would feel to be the only Rational being in an irrational world. I wonder if I'm experienc ing it now? Weekend Hangover by Dee Jay Another weekend has passed The morning sun shines clear Don't expect me to partici pate in class Another weekend hang over is here. I hope my eyes are not too red I've been having a rough time Today, I should have stay ed in bed. I'm too tired to reason and rhyme. Came to school to mix matched shoes Didn't notice when I put them on I've really got those "Monday blues” Why didn't I stay home? Silent Cry by Valery Frazier I am full of anger...How Can I let it go...I have No mask to hide me...I Don't want my feelings to show. I feel so weak and weary... You are not by my side...I must rest myself now. For I feel so tired... Why scream to an un known face...No one will hear my call...I will forever keep silent Unless the tear drops fall. The pout is still within me... You must not know I'm full of pain...I will still shine... Although, my mind's in rain.... To You, My Love by Precellia Anntosketta Pratt This distance has really kept us apart. But, I feel the love you have in your heart. I sure hope we will be together again, I really Miss all the times, we spent together. All the joy you brought to me. I feel right now that you have taken a part of me with you. I have waited so patiently on your return In which I shed so many tears Trying so hard to hold in all my fears. I knowyousaid "Itwon't be Long”. Please hurry "Love” and don’t let it prolong. I just want us to be together. For always and leave me never. It seems sometimes, our relationship is all uphill. Please have patience and love me still. Cause without you, there would be no thrill. Don't forget, I will meet you at the altar, And all I will say will be "I WILL". College Girls by Chuck King They come in all kinds of mentalities. They come tall, short, big, and small. They come confusing, frustrating, and arguing. You may get a chance to see them all. They're a trip sometimes to sit and watch. Sometimes they half-way choose to speak. Tossing their heads high in the sky, A situation proven to be bleak. Occasionally you meet an okay one, and luckily one with con versation. Whenever you do hold on tight, for it's a very rare situation. They come in all kinds of mentalities. They come tall, short, big, and small. They come confusing, frustrating, and arguing. And you still haven't seen them all.
