It was on Monday morning
Maths class, what a bore
When we all heard a sound
Monday had never heard before

It started out real quiet
Then added in volume
And soon is started spreading
All across the room!

We all laughed like loons
We chortled like never before
Tears pricked in our eyes
And we rolled across the floor

You think through all this racket
The teacher would be blue
But it was very apparent
She was laughing too!

We burst out of the classroom
And paraded down the hall
It wasn't really walking, though
We could barely crawl

Other children joined us
They all followed suit
Some played musical instrumnet
A guitar and a flute

A tampani and cymbals
A dash of harmonica
In fact, I think we were carrying around
A complete orchestra!

We hit the metal lockers
Such a loud BANG!
And to add to all the kerfuffle
The school bell rang and rang

The principal came out of his office
Wearing a silly tie
And yellled at the top of his voice,
"WHO WANTS A FACE FULL OF PIE?!'

We all screamed and ran around
Still shaking with laughter
It was like a funny fairytale
Ending funnily ever after

All the grades were together
From kindergarten to Grade 12
From the big, hairy teenagers
To the sweet little elves

We all screamed and whistled
Or sang or banged a drum
We laughed our little heads off
And made some noise, by gum!

So listen here old friend,
Sometimes you have to act like a fool
And together we became
ONE BIG NOISY, LOUD, GIGGLY, LAUGHABLE, MUSICAL, ULTRA-FANTASTICAL AND POSSIBLY MAGICAL
SCHOOL!!!

Do you care?
Do you listen to the cries at night,
Of poor children filled with fright?

Do you care?
Do you wish for clothes and books
While small children steal like crooks?

Do you care?
Do you leave some scraps on your plate
While starving is another child's fate?

Do you care?
Do you ignore your teacher's speech
While poor children's education is breeched?

Do you care?
Do you read this poem again and again
Thinking what it must be like for them?

Do you care?

The soft, bright moonlight
Filters through the trees
It calms my troubled soul,
It puts my heart at ease.

The cold does not mind me;
The warmth of my essence stands guard,
And the ice underneath my feet
Is no longer hostile and hard.

The peace washes my worries away
My spirit is now free
And in the moonlight
I am truly me.

A girl and a dragon swim in a sea,
as a giant wave comes crashing by,
as they suddenly emerge from the water,
willing to escape.

But freedom isn't all.

A giant airoplane comes shooting by,
and the dragon and girl,
dive until they crash onto a volcano.

The volcano erups,
but there is still hope into the other people's souls,
And they fly and fly,
flying to get away,
get away from their enemies,
to get back their freedom,
and to go where they belong.

As I step into darkness,
a place that I don't know,
As I step into somewhere unknown,
I know that it is my own one.

As I dart into a place,
somewhere more known,
but still hidden,
I feel what I feel.

My dream that I had,
never came true,
and why did I believe that it would ?

No one will ever understand me,
so what ?
I only end in the darkness,
the darkness that haunts me inside.
