Government Shutdown

Red, White & Blue are the colors we bleed

But red is just rich people

And Blue is the people in need

We leave white for the people who  disagree

Who should we trust, Who can we believe

They shut the government down 

And now we are down on our knees, begging please

        Looming with our economy on the line

Its similar to the lonely grape left hanging on the vine

Once it falls, its smashed in the ground

Like that unpaid debt that has bill collectors messing with our mind

Like that Head-start program which got shut down

So instead of our kids learning, 

We have Chief Keef teaching the nouns

       Next month Food Stamps meeting Yung Joc so its “Going Down”

But be smart, think ahead, think a future then build a brand

Money issues we understand, Everybody's not rich but it can be in your plan

We trust them with everything, That they know more than we do

They know who is with us and against us

There are questions  that we need to ask

We need to break barriers and gain the facts

Before we are left with a country ruled by money

       All of this for the Obama care to be abolished,

Or is it because the man in charge is black 

And trying to let his brothers and sisters see better days

The World is cold ,

Where we all is let down,

 How is it that they can say we live in the Best Nation.

When our Economy is like an Elevator, Its goes Up and Down

Blacks are just as racist as the whites

I just don't get it, As a young citizen of the U.S. 

I worry about the  future of my country and the economic stress that we are being pushed through

What if the government can't control the chaos that is soon to come?

What if my country becomes so bad to where things become violent?

I just need to know that the faith of our country in the right hands.

And that my future is going to be able to shine bright off the surface of a good Government.

Abolishing Grading?

     Abolishing grades sound a bit absurd but if you take a closer look you would begin to see why abolishing grades is not so bad.  Think about it, if a child is failing a certain course but aces the exam, something if definitely not right.  Or say for instance, someone is passing with flying colors but fails the exam, we all know something is definitely not quite right.  As I see it, grading now is basically meant to terrorize and intimidate students.  The students feel pressured by the grading scales and are intimidated by the menacing chance to fail.  When students are pressured so much they begin to cheat off others, bully, and etc.

     On the other hand, grading and grading scales can help the student recognize the position that they are in. Whether they are on the verge of failing or passing flawlessly. With the knowledge of  knowing where they are standing, grade wise, they will know whether to work harder or continue their great efforts. But you would also have to consider, "Is my teacher just passing me along or am I really learning and perceiving my work correctly?"  Most teachers, as of now, try to take the easy route out or possibly just teach just a little of what they know without going into extraordinary detail.

     Essentially, the concept of abolishing grades and keeping exams is adequately the best way to go. If grades were abolished, hypothetically speaking, it could bring the confidence of certain students up because they will have a sense of not being a complete failure.  With that type of confidence boost, maybe just maybe they would find that putting in effort in trying to pass that exam is the best route to take. They could also feel as though they do not have to struggle to get by with cheating  but they could actually learn the lesson and be able to comprehend what they are learning.

It's a Stormy Day

  

It's a Stormy Day
It's just a rainy day
Sometimes a sad day
Never a glad day
No Sunshine
No time to rhyme.

It's a Stormy Day
A time of thinking
A time of mourning
A time for healing
But best of all
A time of peace.

It's a Stormy Day
The sun hides
Maybe reviving from shining so bright
Just like the souls of the depressed
Reviving to redeem life
Reviving to restore themselves.

It's a Stormy Day
But Stormy days don't last very long
The sun will finish reviving itself
It will come out to shine on the darkness of....
Life
Wounded Souls
Weakened relationships
Reveal the good
And burn the bad.

It's a Stormy Day
But never forget they never last long.
