Sticking an arc
Making an interpretation of the sun
Melting metal and burning rods
Until there is no undercut
Then cooling the metal with water
While the time passes
I prep my next work piece

Striking an arc
Interpreting the sun
Burning, cutting, fabricating
Till the work day is done

I'm waiting for wintertime
When it always snow
Cold Cold wintertime
When it always snow
We can snowmen and have snowball fights

Summertime be too hot
I like when we have snow days
And i stay in and drink hot chocolate

Im waiting for wintertime
When it always snow
Waiting for wintertime
Snow covering the ground
And the sun goes down

If I must live, let it not be caged like a dog
Hunted and taunted by the color of my skin
While whites around us are angry and hurt
Beacuae of what we have now become Kings and Queens
¨Savages¨ they call us ¨danger to society¨
But They are the ones shooting up the schools ¨Mass Murders¨ but the get away
But if we must live in a world that doesnt care we will take over and make it Fair.

Land dirty, trash everywhere
good food, bad people
hotdogs, burgers the best!
Sat in the window bringing memories
bunch of guys standing at the corner store
dude selling squares at the bus stop
My eyes grow dim, & I could no more gaze; A wave of longing through my body swept.
And hungry for the memories to become reality again

I'm anticipating de spring era
when de tulips arose
fine, fine spring era
when de tulips arose
cause if i die in de winter
they'd forget me under snow

under snow, Lord
what is it I can do?
under snow, Lord
what is it I can do?
its enough to be forgotten
but not under snow.

I'm anticipating de Spring time
and de red roses
anticipating de Spring time
when de roses are red
make a nice art mural
for a gal that's dead.

Bright lights on a friday night.
9 people on one side 9 people on the other.
I see 4 umps and hear them mutter.
My time at the plate has come now it's  time for me to deliver.
When the ball hits the bat it makes the crowed shiver.
Bright lights on a friday night.
I swear its the best thing ever.
There possibly could be nothing better.
Roundin bases , heading home.
Thats the best felling known.

To open my arms wide
In some place of the moon
To whirl and to sing
Till the white day is finish
Then rest at cool night
Beneath a tall tree
While night comes on peacefully
Dark like me
That is my dream
To open my arms wide
In the face of the moon
Sing! Whirl! Whirl!
Till the fast day is finsh
Rest at calm night
A tall slim tree
Night coming gentleness
Black like me

I'm waitin' for the summertime , when the sun beams upon us and waterparks open and swim in the warm water.

Because when winter comes it will freeze me and make me feel numb. Be buddle up with layers of clothes and stuck in the house

Oh sweet warm summer, can't wait for sunny weather and nice vacations.

Itś 5:30 am & i still haven't gotten any sleep .i've got a softball game in about 2 hours. Honestly disgusted by the matter. There goes that word, MATTER . That word it had me so into the problems of the world .Not just within our planet of math & science because thats all that word is . A bunch of numbers & frequencies or does it dig deeper then that? could it simply be that no matter matters more then the matter that human being have no sense of what actually matters.

Holding  my head down,
asking what have i done,
Always looking down,
Wondering if my time will come.

A voice in my head,
taking control of me,
tells me to look ahead,
people will now notice me.

A glow finally shows,
My smile grows wide,
Now everyone know,
there's no need to hide.

My head down.

I, too, am great teacher

I'm the unrecognized one.
They send me into the most difficult classrooms
When  the boss comes.
But I laugh,
I do well and
I love my students strong.

Tomorrow,
I'll be in the front of the classroom
When my boss comes
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,

My students are failing
Then.

Besides,
They'll see how wonderful they are
And be ashamed-

My students too, are growing strong.

To fling my arms in the air
In some place in my room,
to scream and shout
Till the dream is done
then to sleep scared
beneath my bed
while a man comes out gently,
a scary man-
that is my bad dream!

Holding my diploma high,
making sure I won,
looking at the sky,
showing my dad what I've done.

It's more to my journey,
and I will overcome,
I am a fighter,
I won't quit until it's done

Soon everyone will be proud,
I'll fulfill everyone with smiles,
How far I've come,
My journey is finally done
