Africa

Reading the Africa peom on class has inspired me to share a poem I wrote a few years ago.
I don't remember what I called it... I was somthing along the lines of "Forgivness" or "Ultimatium"


We close our eyes, the sky is black, we open our eyes, and the sky is blue.
The Sunflower danced, the Sun shines, the Birds sing
We remember what we did...
It cries pedals, the Sun hides, and the trees sway.
That's when we fall, fall into the demise of sin
As we fall, we open our eyes, the sky is Red.


Basicly your dreaming, i.e. the sky is black, then you dream about being in a fantasy world of peace and prosperity and the sky is bright blue.
Everything is happy, but then you think of all the bad things you did that day.
Your negative actions have effected everyone and everything, even the Earth.
You realize it is your fault, and fall to the ground in grief.
And as you fall, you dream ends, it is morning, a new beggining and the sky is red with the blood or you sins or red as a warning.  I was never too sure which would be best reason to make the sky red.

I was pretty proud of this poem, so I saved it!  : )

In other news, my sister didn't have money for lunch today, so she came to me for help.  I didn't give her any money arguing that I won't be around to save her all the time and that she should find a way to solve the problem on her own (as I did when I was a freshman).  However she did it, she got a lunch, but she is still sore about me "abbandoning" her.  Was this bad judgment on my part, or a wise move?
