Students9 Thoughts: What's On Their Minds
, Imagine "
They are born into this cold place
helpless, serene and naive.
The complacency on each face
seems too peaceful to conceive.
If you tell them you will catch them,
they won't hesitate to spring.
If you promise you will love them,
they'll return the love you're promising.
_AL,some point in their simple lives
they re taught this honesty must end.
They're taught to hate and to tell lies ?
love and trust put to the wind.
It twisted morals weren't instilled
trom older, wiser" generations,
the world's pain soon would be healed,
yielding a more loving nation.
Imagine how this world would be
if people truly loved each other.
Every heart would be hate-free.
All would respect fathers and mothers
But now back to our reality,
where greed of power reigns
supreme, , ,
daily murder a normality,
where making money is
the theme.
Don't you see the slate
we're in?
We can't keep going on like
this!
The answers are found deep within, the
problems too great to dismiss.
The author, a student at Moore Ele- the conclusion of Monday's Peace
mentary School, recited this poem at Run, in which he participated. ,
Imagine all living in peace, all
races as a family.
Imagine the love that
could release once we
omitted enmity.
It's not up
to me and it's
not up to you, it's
up to us both to
make this.come true.
Imagine, if you can,
the peacefulness
that I speak of.
The key to this is in our
hands.
That sacred key is simply,
love.
? Tamara Godson, 16
Peace
Peace, a happy, and calm kind
of thing that a man had
dreamed about named
Martin Luther K ng.
Peace is graceful and quiet.
Peace is what calmed the
L.A. riot.
Peace is when humans
come with love to
live together.
Peace is as solid as
gold, it can't be
seen, because it
comes from the soul.
Peace is when we play outside to
show each other we have a lot of pride.
Peace are birds tweeting their tunes, the stars
in the sky, and the big yellow moon.
Peace is what will get you to heaven, not robbing the 711
Peace is the rule that we should all obey. We'll look un at our Creatbr and
get the O.K. .-^-Jaeson Pitt. 1 1
If They Only Knew
White people don't often know
what I am.
'11 call a black person a
nigger in my presence, and not
give a damn.
To this, how do I react?
How do I respond?
To fight ignorance
with ignorance, that, I
am beyond.
Why get- angry?
Because if they knew I was
black, I'd just prove what they
already believe.
The root of America, which is racism,
plants many a seed. What do I say? I just simply
look them in the eye and say, "I have work to do."
You have work to do."
My brothers, my sisters. We all have work to do."
? Chrxstal Sheff, 1 7
Malcolm
"By any means necessary!"
His voice would ring out.
He would speak the truth
. 'til everyone understood what >
he was about. /
His pride, so great, /
his passion, so deep, /
he would not rest until /
his people knew /
their value.
-And death v
would finally and forever ^
put him to sleep.
? Janae Da\'is, J 3
