N. Joseph, McDonough Middle (Click The Title To Listen)
Living in a hectic world (yeah)
Things are outta control
Seems like things are getting
Crazy out here
And these people they don’t
Have no hope
But what is the light shined
And it was bright in your eyes
And what if it showed the way
The way that things would be okay
We would be living in a world of peace
We would have a great humanity
We would be living with no disease (yeah)
We would
We would be living free
And that’s called hope
That’s called joy
Yeah it’s called love
Free from the destroyed
We would be living in a world of peace
We would have a great humanity
We would be living with no disease (yeah)
We would be living free
Free Free
We would be living free
Free Free
Inside and away,
I sit and pray,
That once again with friends I shall play-
“Trapped”, they all shout,
You may feel that, no doubt
To think that- you’re apt.
Yet you are NOT trapped!
Together we can be
You just have to see
That doesn’t have to be physically.
We have this and that
We can use to chat.
Come hither my friends
To see the possibility of a platform with no ends
Come hither- we shall talk.
In pixels we shall walk
Together we shall be
You just have to see
It won’t be physically.
We the children know
we don’t have school,
In the building of course.
Now we work in the candlelight.
We work on computers day by day
working on and on.
And before
you know it we are back at school!
Yet before that, we work
in the candle light.
Causing students wanting to stay
in bed all night and day.
It is okay!
Don’t worry about a fright.
Some say they like it working
in the candle light.
So don’t doubt yourself
there is no reason to fright
working in the candle light.
Q- Quite boring, sitting in the house and not being able to go nowhere or see your friends
U- Useless time being wasted when I could be doing something fun
R- Really hope this is over before the summer
A- Anecdote needs to be found and in use
N- No more people should die
T- To hope this will all go away soon
I- In the meantime, we just have to stay home so things will get better
N- Nobody deserves this.
E- Everybody do what is said and this pandemic will go away soon.
I have hope
I have faith
But how are other people going to have it
If you don't tell them their safe
It's hard holding on
It's hard to trust
You don't know who has covid-19
So don't trust
Stay home
Stay safe
Because one day
We’ll all come together once again
And we will be safe
Have hope
Have faith
Because without it you'll be in a evil place
God is with us and will always be
But covid-19 will try to sting us like a bee
Social distancing is important for our health
If you don't follow the rules
You'll end up seeing death
It's hard to say that covid-19
Won't be here for long
But you have to have hope and faith and we all will be safe.
Persistence
Persistence in the human race. Us as people have been through so many things. Whether it be personal hardship or a worldwide, international pandemic or epidemic. We have overcome a lot. We’ve stood our ground and persevered. We won’t and can’t stop now.
I hope that we can band together and be strong. I hope that we can come out of this stronger than before. That when this is over, those who had lost their battle can look down and be proud of humanity. Be proud that we didn’t give up.
No matter what anyone says, we will survive this. We have to. We must prove to ourselves, each other, and those we’ve lost that we have not lost hope. That we didn’t lose our faith that everything will be okay.
So, if you ask me what the definitions of persistence, perseverance, strength, bravery, faith, and hope are, I would say the human race.
