I'm a photographer, and I can't picture you and I together. If I were a stop light, I'd turn green everytime you passed by, just so I don't have to see you any longer. I thought happiness started with an HAPPI. Why does mine start with NOT U? Are you a camera? Because every time I look at you, I run and hide. Do you have a map? I need to figure out a way to get the hell away from you. Do you live in a corn field, cause I'm just gonna harvest you and sell you to someone else. Are you a parking ticket? 'Cause you've got Violation written all over you. You look cold. Good. Freeze to death. Can I have directions? [To where?] To get the hell away from you. I'm not drunk, I'm just intoxicated enough to tolerate talking to you. I was so disgusted by your face that I ran into that wall over there. But thank god I don't have insurance, so don't bother telling me your name and number. Is there an airport nearby, cause I'm gotta get on the next flight to Antarctica and get the hell away from you. You look so familiar… didn't we take a class together? I could've sworn we had physical education, where I was educated how to physically hurt you. If you are a steak, I'd say you are too meaty. Can I have a picture of you? So I can show Santa what I don't want for Christmas. There must be something wrong with my eyes, they've started bleeding at the sight of you.

Our parents are always telling us , you have to go to school, that you'll learn everything you need to know before you're ready for the big world, and that'll you need it to get into your dream job But now a days our education isn't about learning, its about passing Our education now isn't the same as it used to be It teaches us that if you're not at a certain grade level, you will not succeed That if you don't meet a certain criteria, maybe you're not for fit the course This education system doesn't teach us whats really important for the big world It doesn't teach us how to live, how to do taxes or how to survive It never taught us the living expenses or how to buy a home Never taught us what to expect once we leave for college or how to balance our schedules No. It only taught us homework, about a plant cell, about tangents and circumferences It taught us that homework is more important than family That it's more important than being a kid and having a life It taught us that if you spend time with loved once and didn't do your work, you're setting yourself up for failure They pile us with work it feels like we cant breath They never once thought of the other class assignments that must be due not even 24 hours later They make us memorise things that will no longer be important when we apply for a job We study for hours in hopes to pass that final test that we'll soon forget But what are we suppose to say when someone asks us how we're feeling? We were never taught that We never memorised an equation to help us find the answer We were only ever taught to keep our mouths shut and do our work Its quite funny what we learn in school now Things more than 80% of the students will never have to use let alone see again School was suppose to prepare us for our future For the job choice we pick Instead we meet and learned quadratics and plant cells We were taught homework is what your focus should always be on We were never taught about the future and what to do And most importantly We were never taught how to love ourselves and the things we should be greatful for They've turn us into sad, mindless robots that's are more concerned about grades and passing than whats going on with the family We lock ourselves in our rooms doing homework for 6 hours than talking to our mothers or fathers who wonder about us We were never taught the importance of family before it was too late Every single highschool student wishes they can turn back the clocks, but it'll never work We were taught the hard way that you don't really know what you have until its gone Something we weren't prepared for They never prepared us for the future Instead, we prepare our self for the possible failing outcome How are we suppose to make a living for ourselves when all we have learned was the stress over homework and family? The depression over a failed test or assignment? The lost feeling of the lost time? How are we suppose to love ourselves when all we do is put yourself down because of school? This education system never prepared us for anything Instead, this education system officially has broken all of us.

They told me to sit small, legs crossed like folded paper, voice tucked behind my teeth as if silence were a virtue. Cover up Because if you don’t It’s your fault Your fault for their actions If you ask for help It never works “He has a bright future” If you need it to stop Need to make a change You can’t It’s your body But it’s their choice Your skin, a weapon turned on yourself distracting, disgusting You would never ask the same of a man People ask Man or bear The answer may seem obvious to them But no Bear Bear Always bear Because if it were a man It would be so much worse A man in a room of women Ecstatic and elated A woman in a room of men Terrified and petrified My shoulders? Do they distract you How about the bulge in your pants? That distracts me But I can’t say that That’s unacceptable and awkward So for once Maybe instead of protection Education would be the way to go Because the answer should never be bear

“Being a farmer is like being a priest; you take a vow of poverty and make a pact with the Lord that no typhoon will come and destroy your crops.” In the rise of sedentary human civilization, The nation’s agriculture Became the key expansion. Its history dates back thousands of years, With its development, Has been driven and defined – By different climates, cultures, and technologies. The Filipino farmers: Are they now a dying breed? Numbers of small farms has dwindled, With workers opting for city life. But this trend could exacerbate food insecurity! Yes, in an import-dependent country – Already struggling to meet current food demand. In the face of growing losses, And from volatile weather, To new-fangled farming tech, Limited education makes them less receptive. What took such toll on the agricultural sector? Maybe the farmer themselves, The investors, the buyers – maybe. Now, it’s due to the government policies, Our programs are good, yet so weak. There’s excessive reliance on agricultural imports, And corruption on the upper level. Compounding the problem Is a younger generation – Largely, leaving rural areas nationwide, And depleting the pool of potential agricultural workers. They say it’s too late to do something; But the mind-set of the younger generation Still we can change And make farming appealing once again. (9/8/13 @xirlleelang)

A Dying Filipino Breed
I left my home in the name of education I left my hometown in the name of higher education I left my state in the name of graduation I left my family in the name of aspiration At times, I miss my childhood Although, the fun & friends weren't the same in my adulthood In order to get rid of their falsehood I left them too, for my own good I have traveled so far away from home Now, When I let my thoughts to roam All they bring back is sadness and pain And then, I left my tears to drain I lost myself in this whole journey of life There were times when I often looked for a knife Not just to **** me but to end the pain I left everything and I'm waiting for a magical rain

Lets stop n slam on somethin' shameful like war and anguish... 'Cause im pretty sure that tremendous termoil and suffering and starvation is the same in all languages... But something that most of us will never know... 'Cause in this country you tend to grow a fat *** as you grow old. Give this countries cold dark history a warm embrace, look it in the face! All this killing, death, distruction, and disease...more war than peace! Something most of us will never see, much less feel...Because ignoring it is so much easier. We'd rather be pleasing ourselves than siezing the keys to this country! Jump in. Take a sunday drive for freedom. Sunday football keeps you occupied... Kicked back in the recliner, while others freeze in the name of the flag. And your constitution. And the human condition. Patriotism is not pretty to the petty. To...those getting rich, hand over fist... On your...vacant homes, vacant jobs, and vacant votes. While they vacate our education with more lousy legislation. We get lazier and sleezier and sloppier. We pass judgement on our fellow man... While we let politicians pass bills that destroy this great land. Hand over fist, hand over hand...one hand washes the other politicians **** These dinosaurs with their special interest agendas make me sick. Stand up strait. Look at me when I talk to you. Dont turn a blind eye to all the bodies that once hung from loops... Remember where we came from. Re-write history like the bible. Re-write war and peace. We call soldiers "property of uncle sam". Brainwashed to believe in 'the man' and his plans. Slavery doesn't segregate anymore. We're all in on this together. This time. We stand in unison. All in on this together. Revolution is freedom.

I think it's crazy that they want me to type an essay over deforestation for a score or practice or to better my writing. That's 60 more minutes I'm wasting of my life. They say that sooner or later everything we do we will do with technology. So here I am now writing this essay that's supposed to be about deforestation and the effects and consequences. We are not discussing the issue. We are sitting in wooden chairs with our computers sitting on our wooden desks surrounded by wooden bookcases. So much irony right? I seem to be the only one to notice anyways. We come here seven hours a day, do hours of homework, "study" the information, aka memorize regurgitate then forget all of it. This is not teaching us. We are not learning anything useful to help us live. It's all numbers and words that do not matter to me. If anyone thinks that all us kids come to school to learn they're wrong and if they think that the teachers come to teach they're even more wrong. We come to pass class after class so we can leave and actually make something of ourselves. The teachers come because they have to for the money. They do not care about us or our feelings. They put all this pressure on us to be the best we can be which really means make a good grade. I've been silent for so long now. Not expressing my feelings towards much of anything. Also toward the reason I have to wake up at five every morning to be around people I do not even like. I feel as though the education system is unfair and cruel and does not take into consideration what the kids who go through this cycle everyday think. So that's what I think about deforestation.

I chose ice-cream Over yogurt; Strawberry, vanilla or chocolate. Each equally without prejudice Attracted. The fifteen year old server Was kinda short; The vanilla tub had about three scoops Remaining, Stacked hidden like frozen snow-balls As in war games. His task would have been daunting And embarassing, And I, a humanitarian From higher education, An altruist from St. Joseph's, Could not allow it. The chocolate tub Was yet covered, And the sobbing child's cries Were hardening in my ears As Dad tried to allay His chocolate tears, Applying the five second rule. I am an empath By nature and poetry, So, turning from chocolate, Left me strawberrry. Triple scoop too. I believe You thought through Your choices Like flavors of ice-cream. Being imaginative, I do.

Climate Change (Acrostic Poem)
The gentle tone of her teaching, In wonderous melodies, orchestral knowledge from a sweet teacher, Education set by the awareness of harmonizing, delicate instruments, Wisdom and foresight, cast by no other judgement but of a conductor, Whomst hand leads to the ups and downs of the intensity, recognised Ensembling in the beauty of a sinfonietta, sounds flows uninterrupted Let the singing pendulum to your mistress's pleasure fall to the bottom, attached to the chipped illusionists mask of anticipation! To this dance the mascarade does not crack in the shadow of sound, A wise scholar would not sacrifice one topic relevant to learn to the passing time, to her students unfortune that is, cast in pure grief, A wise conductor does the same with musical notes, the story flows, With the moon high in the sky, time stands in her way, questioning her to dance with the devil amongst a distorted, whicked dark, But resillient to the end, tough and with no distraction taking her focus the director of this event finishes the creation of art, an orchestra A craftwoman of tempo and elegance always stands out after all, bringing the musical score to life. ~ Umi

THE KEY There are many keys to a door Without the keys you can't secure-keep Or open to great possibilities You're yet to reach Do your best in the present To get the key of the future Education is Key to the door of a great future The basic necessity that bridges the gap between the poor and rich I may not be rich today But with this key I will be rich someday invest wisely in education Don't let this precious gift Be a deprivation For with it we'd be Key-Leaders of the future Education- my pride: is the KEY ©LovelynEyo

Really? Well, don’t be, because it doesn’t help to be sorry. Sorry doesn’t change it. Sorry doesn’t make it go away. Sorry doesn’t “undo” what’s already been done. Sorry doesn’t erase my memory. Sorry doesn’t take away the searing pain in my chest. Sorry ***** I don't want your pity or to hear that no child should ever have to endure what I did. Because **** happens. It happened to me …it happens to millions of other kids. Shoulda…woulda…coulda… You’re right – I do have so much going for me. I have an education, a career, financial security – the beautiful house w/the picket fence, the 2 kids and the dogs. And it’s all a huge sham! You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can’t take the trailer park out of the girl. And that’s what I’m to be commended for??? That doesn’t make me special. I should be commended because I have an education? Things could sure be a lot worse, huh? I could be a crack ***** living on the street with 10 kids in foster care, unable to afford therapy even if I wanted to go. I could be like “them”. Wow! I’m so awesome. Yay for me! Kudos to the smart chick that spent years being molested by her father and ACTUALLY made something of her life. It’s a miracle! It’s all such a sham – a dog and pony show. Smoke and Mirrors, my dear! Put on a stylish outfit, and paste on a cheerful smile, and everyone thinks you have it all together….. No one would ever know different. You wouldn’t have known. If I’d have kept my big fat mouth shut!!!!! I should have known better….I should have sat down and weighed the risks, possible opportunities, the roadblocks the problems, and definitely a cost analysis of plan A – trying to work through the ******** of the past, B – continue to live in denial, C – **** myself. …. That’s what a smart business woman would have done. And after all, I’m super smart, huh? A real genius!

Look at all these wannabe gangsters Terrorising our streets That one's wearing camouflage trousers Just wait till you hear him speak 'Dems bear skills mate' 'Can you lend me fifty bar?' He sounds like he's from Los Angeles Doing time in the yard But he's not He still lives at home with his mum And his pregnant girlfriend And he's under the thumb You see them outside Tesco But they're not shopping for pesto Let's go They've seen the old bill He's known around this town For selling dodgy pills Guns, knives and slang That's what you need If you wanna be in their gang No education Just a stolen Playstation And don't forget the **** Even on a school night They're out doing speed You'll see 'em in the park With a bottle of cider Then they'll start On a poor old-timer Tracky bottoms And a Burberry hat Chav fashion Cause they think they're all that But the funny thing is They don't have a clue They don't think like Me or you They think that they're rap stars Dreaming of fast cars But they're just wankers More like 'wannabe gangsters'

you make a wish upon a star but little do you know another being, far away is wishing on it too perhaps there is the slightest chance both wish for one same thing like ending hunger, poverty lack of education or economic stability but each of us will take the time wishing for our own all i know is human nature differs prayer from a wish when we pray, we ask that god bless all that is amiss but when we wish upon a star all thought for others leave we wish only for ourselves its what we've come to be.

Oh why am I still hurting Isn't it past the hour of pain? Hell is only temporary Til He rids you of all shame! I stepped into Your room Try to relive Your relieving To rid me of my gloom Try to receive Your revealing Jealous the jealous God I seek restless for Your love Mine eyes grow tired and weary Jealous the jealous God Jealous the jealous God I drown helpless in Your flood I thirst scarcely for Your mercy Jealous the jealous God Why is the world so empty Yet weighs millions o' pounds? Where lies pile up aplenty To keep the lost from being found Why is deception Like form of education Setting false foundations Corrupting His creation As lies disguise damnation For a paper-clad salvation Sending ill vibrations To the youth of all the nations I wonder how much am I missing, o God? A wonder even the universe cannot contain Translated and made compatible in a human's brain. Soulless animals kiss the land In honor of the One Who was, who is and is to come Who dares their doubt expand In disbelief blot out the sun Jealous the jealous God Soulless animals indeed we have become

Sovereign soldier! Sinner! Saint! let me live more than 20 days I am a good person I only **** when asked I eat spaghetti with a fork and spoon I once tried to jump off a cliff but that was then and this is now and the breeze is as cold as winter don’t think that I ever enjoyed this time with you don’t think that I won’t ever try that again I promise I won’t float in the air no not this time

Dissection for the Education of Students
Life is a lifelong Balancing act Time that's wasted Never comes back But hear my quandary It's really quite queer What happens when my job Conflicts with my career? What happens when my schooling Disrupts my education? When federal government policies Keep me from graduation? What happens when my GPA Keeps me out of universities? What happens when what I need to do Conflicts with my responsibilities?

Responsibility
I am told that I should love my body, and I should not be ashamed. BUT the white, conservative men tell me otherwise, making me feel nothing but shame. When did it become okay for a male's education to be more important than a woman's rights? When did it become okay to sexualize a woman just because her shirt does not cover her rear end? This is apparent in the things my teachers have told me. "Your shirt must be fingertip length when wearing yoga pants," she said. "Why?" "Because the males that sit in the class might be too destracted to listen to my lecture." We are treated like *** toys. Us girls are used for nothing more than a mans pleasure, so they imply. This is MY body, and no one else's. I may do what I please, and no one should have a problem with it. I refuse to be sexualized and treated like we are living in the 1920s. But I must conform and live in fear of my consequences. **** culture is real, and school's are promoting it.

**** culture and dress code
Guns and more guns need to be put down Bullets should be replaced with education being the sound It’s time to become a success Yet it’s up to our young people to put that to the test Their testimony surrounding confess Everyone has capabilities to learn However, one must adapt to theories forming concepts Imagine having a college degree for all to see Having confident being your own decree The movement of action in making education what it should be A mind is a terrible thing to waste But the key is to make education your base Former President Barack Obama had the right idea, “You Can” But the new continued motto, “You shall Until” A young man at a United ***** College Fund Raiser said this vital point, “Blacker the college Sweeter the education” Education being the unity, but bring back to the community Determination in step out and explore Seeing one’s horizon but beyond the shore A college education is an opportunity being a chance Knowing the theories is how one will advance Higher Education means being one step ahead But the opposition wants minds to be misled Prove to yourself what education can do for you It’s a journey being a must to go through Achievers such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, Dr. Maya Angelou and scores of others They instilled the passion in how to achieve, and determined education was what they were going to receive They were ready no matter what Fasten your educational seat belt as you will be taking off into Higher Learning Institutions in education beyond measure Education is, but hold tight to the learning saddle It might seem like a battle But the end rewards is succeed Slavery that was while be came destined for education now One word leads to a complete sentence One’s thoughts illustrates the understanding Adaptability of the concepts gained Long lasting knowledge is what will remain UNCF philosophy, “A mind is a terrible thing to waste” But the mind must be ready to spiral and absorb But education and knowledge work all accord.

Guns and more guns need to be put down Bullets should be replaced with education being the sound It’s time to become a success Yet it’s up to our young people to put that to the test Their testimony surrounding confess Everyone has capabilities to learn However, one must adapt to theories forming concepts Imagine having a college degree for all to see Having confident being your own decree The movement of action in making education what it should be A mind is a terrible thing to waste But the key is to make education your base Former President Barack Obama had the right idea, “You Can” But the new continued motto, “You shall Until” A young man at a United ***** College Fund Raiser said this vital point, “Blacker the college Sweeter the education” Education being the unity, but bring back to the community Determination in step out and explore Seeing one’s horizon but beyond the shore A college education is an opportunity being a chance Knowing the theories is how one will advance Higher Education means being one step ahead But the opposition wants minds to be misled Prove to yourself what education can do for you It’s a journey being a must to go through Achievers such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, Dr. Maya Angelou and scores of others They instilled the passion in how to achieve, and determined education was what they were going to receive They were ready no matter what Fasten your educational seat belt as you will be taking off into Higher Learning Institutions in education beyond measure Education is, but hold tight to the learning saddle It might seem like a battle But the end rewards is succeed Slavery that was while be came destined for education now One word leads to a complete sentence One’s thoughts illustrates the understanding Adaptability of the concepts gained Long lasting knowledge is what will remain UNCF philosophy, “A mind is a terrible thing to waste” But the mind must be ready to spiral and absorb But education and knowledge work all accord.

Procrastination? What is that I've never heard of such a thing. But maybe because I'm to busy procrastinating to hear it, I am mike, I am not a poet, a leader, a storyteller, or an academic, I am a dreamer, a gamer, a man of many things, I would rather let life pass me by and sit in my game, Than to deal with the drama of reality. It is not that I don't like reality, It is that reality is too busy, With school and work Facebook and friends Learning and imagining Are they even one in the same I love my games because it allows my mind to run wild From building empires in Minecraft to taming creatures in Pokemon Games are a way I can re envision my world They allow kids to show their creative side something education removed long ago. So I stand before you asking, What is procrastination, I'd rather play my game and imagine. My life seems to pass by but in my one life span I have lived dozens of others.

Procrastination, Games, and Life
Children born with *** is the most sadest thing in life. Everyday there is a child born with *** The reason for this is because adults and children are ***** each and every day. By the curel careless people in this world. Kids are sent off to oprphanges in some parts in Africa where honestly is better then some other places in Africa. Thats not it though the ones that are not in oprphanges are at risk each and everyday for there lifes. Not only for this disease but for the curlest people that will **** them for basically no reason because they dont have freedom like we do. Why treat children this way period but why treat them especially if they have limited time in life. They dont get to see and experience what we get to see and experience because we have the freedom. Each and everyday children in Africa risk there lifes to go to school most of them don't survive because once again the cruel poeple in this world **** them. Unlike we get to go to school for free and have freedom. We get to have the oppertunity to have an education. When they are not even given a chioce. The kids that are not in a orphanage are slaves they get torchered they get wipped they even are forced to see there parents wipped, ***** and murdered. They dont have choices at all for there life the chioces are made for them. Barely any water to drink or even food to eat. Children in Africa die each and everyday either from ****** starvation, dehydration or there disease. We act so ungreatfully to people in our lives we should be ashamed. When poeple in Africa don't have parents or if they do they dont get to see unless seeing them be torchured. I am thankful for everything I have and the freedom I have. Learning about this in school was intrestingly horrifying because of what these people do to these children and there parents or to people in general. They dont get *** from chioce of *** or born with it or lack of condoms they are forced with this horrible disease that is life killing and that most likely turnes into AIDS. With out any medical or lack of medical attention the poeple with disease are left to die. With people torchering them by watching and ****** them each and every day. It makes me furious to know that there are children human beings out there that are being torchured, ***** murdered, starved and dehydrated each and everyday of life. This is the life to the day they are born untill the day they die. After reading this think really hard about your life and the things and people in your life is life really hard for you is it that painful is it that horrifying. Put yourself in there shoes would you like seeing your parents child or sibling get ***** murdered or even wipped each and everyday. going without food or water or having barely food or water. For me after writing this and learning it my whole life is heaven compared to them. I have everything they don't and better and I am not even close to being as greatful as I should. Think about this and this is so very true this is there lives each and everyday for the children and adults that are slaves that have HIV/AIDS in Africa.

poverty, the one thing that is always kept in the dark there are a lot of rich people in this country, but they don't care the government promises jobs and infrastructure, but they take our money for themselves undercover the government promises education for all, yet there are still many kids who are still uneducated what the government doesn't know is that the lack of education and high crime rates are all related. we live in a country which is so beautiful, it really hurts me to see a father who is unable to put food on the table it really hurts me to see people sleeping on the side of the road, treating it like its a bed it really hurts me to see people begging on the streets, because they don't have the money to be fed.

Embracing the hate of your own humanity! Why the hypocrisy? Wealthy children, poor children Trying for enlightenment through education Parents garnering wealth through the oppression of their victims Parents garnering debt through the oppression from economic inequality Still you invest and promote the only legitimization of your being: CAPITALIST UTILITY Capitalism engineering unrelenting misanthropy Vicious economic system discarding humanity Perfecting the concentration and accumulation of wealth With the expansion of human alienation and murderous competition Prostituting your body to labor exploitation and consumerism Where does your wealth end up? multinational companies? financial corporations? military arms contractors? Loyalty lies in their pockets, backstabbing everyday tactics Killing you through the exploitation of your body Because they know the birth of another proletariat or bourgeoisie can replace you   Entities, not human, how much have they bought you for so that you cannot see!!! Beware of these misanthropic missionaries granting your body power and agency When your body can no longer be plundered for profit you will taste tears and blood Young people will you deliver your forefathers and fathers From worshiping capitalist misanthropy?
