He makes fools We love someone, PROTEST I PROTEST he said and then sat and never did anything else for the rest of his fat, contented life. Nic Seaton, Grade 12 LIFE Someone dies. Someone cries, But life goes on. Sadness, joys, Newfound toys, Regardless, life goes on. We sing in tune, We sing too flat, She's too thin, Or he's too fat, Eternal, life goes on. We lose old friends, We gain some more, We fail a test, But we pass four, Life still goes on. Sometimes happy, Sometimes sad, ln comes a new moral, Out goes an old fad, Non-ending, life goes on. We hate another, Our mother's nuts But so's our brother, Descending, life goes on. lt's here, it's there, It's everywhere, A child, a bear, Mon pere, ma mere, Prevailing, life goes on. A neverending process, How? I do not know. To-day I see another born, And then another goes, Enduring, life goes on. Molly Lawson, Grade 11 FEAR? Fear is just another word For not knowing what to do. Harvey Locke, Grade 12 THEY Down, down, down, lgo then, in odd moments, up again, bobbing inthe clouds, like a kite in afair wind, smiling at the sun. Then, they take the wind away, unknowingly perhaps - but it's gone, like now, and my heart is shattered over and over as I relive the crash Kelly Kerr, Grade 12 TO HIM He's in every crowd, He degrades another, To make him feel big. Of those indifferent To his loud and brash ways It makes him feel big. He ridicules, the different, Those not fitting his idealsg It makes him feel big. Hne's the one that always stands out First to make the cutting comment This makes him feel big. But, we all know who he is, He's the small one, He never grew up, He never learned, That people have feelings. Kathie Paget, Grade 12 THE SILENT EXTERMINATOR He walked along, stealthily as a snake making no more noise than a glider. Then, downth 9 stairshe . jumped, Nimbly as a mountain lion, bursting through the Pumpkin pink polish On nails Carefully cultivated, door, Shattering life inside And cracking the still night air Like a thunderstorm. Colin Lamb, Grade 10 SIGNS Finely filed to the perfect shape To reveal a realistic reflection of her character. Janice Heard, Grade 12
