I am the wolf pack leader that cares for his kind
I wonder of their fur if that might fall
I hear their howls and burks
I see them being carried on shoulders
I want to keep their heart beating and beating
I am the wolf pack leader that cares for his kind

I pretend to have nothing like an empty train station
I feel distance and cold
I touch the drops going down and down and hitting me with force
I worry that i left someone behind and it was my fault
I cry for the tails that fall and didn't make it the whole way
I am the wolf pack leader that cares for his kind

I understand that they are the smoke that comes back to my mind remembering...
I say that I could have done better to save their fur
I dream of my wolfs and I just keep them in my jar
I try to protected them
I hope my wounds to be save
I am the wolf pack leader that cares for his kind

The Poem

I am the town that got burn by your dragon flames
I wonder if one day I will be rebuild
I hear the wood cracking and the brick walls crumbling
I see red enormous fires
I want to have hard iron walls

I pretend to not care for this destruction
I feel scratch and cut
I touch my horror wounds
I worry if everything will turn back as it use to be
I cry not, I just remember of all my injuries
I am the town that got burn by your dragon flames

I understand that not everything will be the same
I say good things will come
I dream of a better Structure
I try not to remember now and then about the past
I hope that this won't happen again
I am the town that got burn by your dragon flames

The Life of the Medal of Honor

As the bullets were sounding all over the place. As the soldiers were depending just in one man. He was running from place to another, passing a piece of paper saying what movements they needed to do. He was the only person who was risking his life to do this dangerous job. After the war he was standing with all the officers receiving less medals than anyone else, the commander reach to him and gave the Medal of Honor to this great soldier. Everybody saluted this great person officers and enlisted soldiers. With this great medal he was thank. In America this medal originated from war to thank the people who help others and risking their own life. The Medal of Honor a very high award in the United States of America. To get this high award people needed risk their lives and have courage do to it. This means someone is not sure they deserve this high award.

The Poem

Martin Luther King JR.


Quote





I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.



This means to people that every should be treated equally. It does not matter if you are white, black, or brown. It matters how you respond to things, it does not matter how people look. All people in the world should not be treated by the color of their skin but by their contents.






For me this means that every person should be treated equally it does not matter if the person is white, brown, or black. It does not matter if the person is a woman or a man. In this world everybody has the same right to be free from by being discriminated! People should be seeing for the way they act. I know that Martin Luther King JR. made a good point and this quote belongs to everybody. People should think about this phrase and think it for a good period of time as I did!
















Langston Hughes


Harlem (A Dream Deferred)




Maybe it just sags

like a heavy load.

Does it dry up

like a raisin in the sun?

Or fester like a sore--

And then run?

Does it stink like rotten meat?




Or crust and sugar over--

like a syrupy sweet?

Or does it explode?




















The Poem (A Dream Deferred)





Does it burn up


like wood in the fired?


Or is it rip like food--


And then smelly?


Does it rusty like metal?


Or colorful and bright


like a painting?



Maybe it melts


like a ice cube.


Or does it get electrocuted?







This is about a dream. It says that it banish from your reaches. Do you quit when you can't reach it. "Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?" For me this poem is mostly like you have less chance to achieve your dream. If you play your cards right there most be a chance to a achieve your dream. Lets say that the door closes at you but a window opens! So is better never to quit when you are trying to achieve your dream.
