Your ghetto is ghetto but your ghetto ain’t ghetto as mines…
You aint seen what i seen of whats been seen with these seeing brown eyes…
Bullets aren’t louder then my free, tanks are not louder then my Palestine…
Only thing you do that makes me weak is hearing a mothers loud cries…

The world is a playground but we’re told how to use it.
We’re warned every day in most underground music.
Life should be valued and considered a treat,
But our lives are money value to the wealthy elite.
We need not be confined to what the television tells us,
And it can never hurt to get a little bit [...]

A boy,
Only in the third grade.
He saw a Bald Eagle one day.
A teacher,
Somewhere in his thirties.
He said they don’t exist in this area.
The students,
Who admire the teacher for his way of words.
They refused to believe the boy.
The Eagle,
He was in plain sight.
Yet the teacher said no way, and the students agreed.
The boy stood by what [...]

Osama is dead shot in the head,
Gaddaffi is slayen, beaten, paraded…laid to bed!
The killing won’t stop, because the powers command it.
The lessons we learn, if we don’t like it we burn it!
Burn it……..Burn it!…..burn it all.
The tyrants we built up and then watched fall.
Then in peace we can live,
No fear have we now?
The man with [...]

everything happened so suddenly
because of this i started living life happily
what happened, was it the world around
what ever it was it gave a slight arouse
this changed who i was fast
so many changes i could barely grasp
what was happening? i couldn’t explain
something was fading away but a new personality i was about to gain
i was suddenly [...]

Not just teens, but adults drive under intoxication
Driving while consuming alcohol maybe illegal within a jurisdiction
All ages are being convicted
Even teens are being inflicted
People are dying because of car-driving inability
The rates of death are increasing effectively
Parents weep and less students graduate due to accidents
Drinking age is now 21 due to lower vehicle crash evidence
Everyday, an [...]

The earth spins as your pupils grow large
The sun is bright and the flowers are singing
And the birds are saying you are free
As you feel the wind tickling your neck
dry grass nibbles at your feet
This poem was written/submitted by Melissa Stadler.

Free
What’s the real meaning of the word?
It differs
And the real question
Is life free?
People give their lives daily to be free
But what about those who don’t?
Are they truly free?
Am i?
Are you?
Did you fight for your country for freedom?
Life is filled with times of happiness and grief
So tell me
Tell me, is life truly free?

The voice of my past I can still hear it
the old myth we’ll all die. I started to fear it
as I saw the end of life and how close I was near it
no nothing in this world can lift my spirit
How can I tell this man that prestige’s a lie
leaders giving orders and we [...]

He rests in a ship
of gold and diamonds
his quarters are painted
with a gold veneer
He rests his sword
near when he sleep
Never losing sight of the enemy
the warrior of the sea
The mast of his ship blew
with the wind
But the ship remains still
he wanders what it would be like
if only he could set sail
and one day be [...]
