POEM ON GLOBAL WARMING

The Dangers of Global Warming

Global Warming.
Temperature rising.
Glaciers melting.
The world hanging.
Will we all survive?
Who knows...
The sun getting bigger.
Our hope becoming smaller.
Will the day come... When we are all killed?
One day, the night of christmas will be warm.
And our summers will be cold.
Hurricanes.
Blizzards.
Death and Despair.
Why does no one care?
We need someone to save us.
Make that someone you.
For our destiny awaits us.
Lets live in a world of peace.
We can only change it with the help of the people.
We are the people!

We should all make a change.
The way we think, should be re arranged.
The world is a fun and carefree place.
Until Global warming comes in your face.
SO LETS FIGHT IT, UNITE AS ONE.
To stop global warming for everyone.
Save the Planet piece by piece.
Thats the end of this poem, goodbye and peace.

How I came To create this poem...
The creation of this poem came easy to me. I used a bit of my knowledge on global warming and made a poem on how people have to realize how serious the topic of global warming actually is. Our world as we know it can change drastically. I felt this poem could help other children and people understand how the world can turn out to be.

As I wrote my poem, I let my fingers flow on the keys of my laptop and wrote what I felt. I wrote the truth. People take their lives for granted and things can happen in a flash. It took me a couple days to complete this, but i feel my completed piece can help people know more about global warming and make them want to learn more about it.

Lifes Difficulties
1.) Global Warming
2.)Bullying
3.)Littering
3.)Smoking
4.)School/College Admissions
5.)War
6.)Corruption of Government
7.)Carbon Pollution
8.)Lack of Jobs


When I was younger child, the cost of things were much cheaper. For example, If I ever wanted a snickers, I’d pay. 50-65 Cents. Now stores charge $1.00 or maybe $1.25. Prices are just too high. I realize times are tough, but paying some much for a smidget piece of chocolate is just too much. I wish prices would just go down a bit. Even though the economy is still in a deficit, little snacks like that shouldn’t cost that much money. I know the prices won’t change, but I feel that they should at least attempt to bring prices down. Candy shouldn’t be that expensive.

Littering...
Why do people litter? Why not go to the nearest garbage can and throw out your trash? These questions have been asked countless times because our country litters. The simplicity of picking up and throwing out your trash is easy and requires little to no effort.

Step One.
Take garbage
Step Two.
Find Garbage Can
Step Three.
Throw out the trash.

Then you’re done. It isn’t too hard. I really don’t know why people can’t follow these simple instructions. Is our country just lazy? Or is it that we just don’t care. It’s probably both. Well we need to change that. The world is being filled with countless amounts of garbage. Eventually the world will become a giant land mass of garbage if we don’t try to fix this problem. People may ask, how can we help? Pick up garbage that you may see on the floor or around you, or pick up after yourself. It isn’t hard. You may not care, but you are harming our environment and the world itself. We have to step up to the plate and try our hardest to help the world out because if we don’t our world as we know it, may change in a negative way and you will be in for a “Rude Awakening.”  

“Litter cleanup costs the U.S. almost $11.5 billion each year, with businesses paying $9.1 billion.  Governments, schools, and other organizations pick up the remainder.”-Kab.org

12,000,000 miles are driven each year picking up litter in our state. Think about all the gas that is needed to fuel trucks for litter pick up."- Stoplitter.org

"18% of all littered items end up in our streams and waterways as pollution. That means litter in our state travels to other states and eventually ends up in the ocean."

Diary of A Wimpy Kid
In the book "Diary of a wimpy Kid" by Jeff Kinney. The main character, Greg, is a self centered, egotistical, kid. He thinks he knows everything and is cooler than everyone when in reality he isn't. He hates singing and embarrassing moments. And to his disadvantage he has a younger brother that LOVES to embarrass him. Greg also uses his best friend Rowley and isn't a very good partner.

In the book Greg basically made Rowley do whatever he wanted. One thing he did was break Rowley's arm. He didn't apologize. He thought of it as a joke. Everyone at school sympathized Rowley and Greg tried to still the fame.

Another example is when Greg framed Rowley for leaving the first graders inside a ditch. Even though it was Gregs fault, he blamed Rowley for it. Greg is bad friend and doesnt deserve someone like Rowley.

                  DEMON APOCALYPSE 
In the Book "Demon Apocalypse" by Darren Shan, The main character Grubs Grady had many challenges and obstacles he had to overcome. From learning how to fly, to learning advanced magic, to traveling through TIME and SPACE! Darren's adventure was full of grief and relief, but he learns many things in his pathway. He lost things and also gained things. Overall the gruesome, but amazing book is a roller coaster of twists and turns that kept the reader craving for more!

In the beginning of the book Darren was tricked by his beloved mother figure "Juni." They mounted a plane and Darren, thinking nothing could go wrong, was never more wrong in his life. The plane was full of demons , including the demon master "Lord Loss!" Darren trying to fight them, but he didn't have the strength. The Demons overcame him easily. As Darren begins to lose all hope. An old man springs to his feet, breaks a hole in the plane and pushes Darren out, the old man also jumps out. In mid flight the old man tells Darren to picture himself flying and he will land safely. The old man immediately starts to fly and leaves Darren behind.
Darren concentrates and began to fly as well. (Lets just say the landing wasn't as easy)

The old mans name was "Beranabus" He is a very powerful Mage. And so is his partner "Kernel Fleck" These two adults teach Grubs how to overcome demon power and face any obstacle. Sadly their power wasn't strong enough to face any of the demons and they lost in battle losing all their friends and family. Luckily the spirit of the dead mage, "Bec" used her spirit to bring all these mages back in time.

In this period the mages had the opportunity  to plan out what they would do during battle and the plan was full proof. They slayed all the demons, but at one cost. They had to sacrifice Grub's half brother Bill-E in the process. Grubs was hurt badly, but the dead spirit of bec resurrected into the body of Bill-E and destroyed the remaining threats. The battle was won, but nothing was gained. Just pain and misery.
