Magnificent Nature (Poem)

By Lawrys Erren 

Sec 2 Victory

Silence, Peace,

It was all that you could feel in the breeze.

It is what basically nature is,

All full of joy and bliss.

Flowers dance delightfully,

Like little children filled with glee.

Bunny rabbits come out of their burrows,

Hopping around no trace of sorrows.

Old trees stand tall,

Towering above them all,

Providing protection

Oh, yes, like a mansion.

Animals protect their kind,

It will blow your mind

With teamwork and skill.

Sad, we kill them still.

Don’t you see?

Nature is magnificent,

Yet, we ruin and destroy

A gift given to us all.

(One of the poems written in my Literature class by a Secondary 2 student.)

An Outstretched Hand (Poem)

By S2 Zeal

Love never ran deeper or stronger than when

It gushed not from the fountain of brother nor friend

Love is best when it falls from the sky, or is found in the sand

Love is best when it’s mercy from a stranger’s outstretched hand.

Once was a day when I found myself wanted

Memories good of my past are now haunted

The hands of a friend, are twice evil when used

Betraying, to point and to taunt you, ashamed and abused.

Sadness is nothing, yet nothing is sadder

Than a person cast to the wind, as they didn’t really matter

The insufferable pressure certainly tore me apart

A bitter rotten apple core, I call it my heart.

Imagine my surprise, when my “friends” came one day,

About to treat me like rubbish meant to be thrown away

When you swooped in and stopped them, after a while

Pulled me back up to my feet, and then gave me a smile.

It really wouldn’t have troubled you, only me

To turn around, to look away, pretending not to see

Lo and behold, you didn’t, but instead, like a gleaming treasure out of sand

Came to my aid, called me by my name, and took me by my hand.
