Chester words

Poetry

December

Bad teacher
My bad
Peace.

Welcome the other,
territory
is for animals.
We got brains.

Kick it
Snick
put my G
down

streets
cell
dreams
scream

Don't do it
For him
For her.
Do it for
You.

Punch yourself
You deserve it.
You.

Happy New Year

The new year is upon us. So far we have conquered the long and short of it - the vowels. We have also learned the difference between subject and predicate, though not perfectly. We will continue to identify sentence fragments and run-ons. Fortnite will NEVER be forgotton!

Pit Bull



Did you know "pit bull" doesn't describe a single breed, but multiple breeds of working dogs? In different US counties and states, bans on pit bull dogs have been placed. Do you agree with these bans?  Read the answer: Although I don't really like pit bulls, I also don't believe they should be banned.

True, many pit bull attacks may have happened over the years. Yes, I would call THESE attackers dangerous, but not ALL pit bulls. This is just like saying if some of a species/breed/gender are dangerous, then all are. Does it really take one apple to ruin a whole batch of apples? Also, what about the many other attacks pets have committed? Pit bulls aren't the only "dangerous" pets around.
They shouldn't be the only pets banned.

Pit bulls can save lives like many other animals. Let us not forget how many times heroic pit bulls have saved other lives. Pit bulls can be helpful to humanity.

Many people love pit bulls from the bottom of their hearts. The pit bull ban hurts them a lot. Think about something you love from the bottom of your heart-getting banned.

Pit bulls are no worse than any other pets. As somebody who doesn't like pit bulls, I disagree with the pit bull ban.

Dog Poet

Dogs are peaceful
Dogs are graceful
Dogs are happy
And dogs are lappy
Small dogs are hype
Big dogs are lazy

Puppies dig in the mud
Dogs dig in the dirt
Dogs can help
And they can guide
Bad dogs are dangerous
Good dogs get many treats

My dog parties
Other dogs lay down
Trained dogs are the best
Not-trained are not so great
Puppies are loved
Dogs are happy

Adopted dogs are cute
Street dogs are messy
I design winter puppy coats
I make warm dog jackets
I love dog every day
I dream of puppies every night.

Pit bulls are fun and caring,
but sometimes can be indeed scary.
You know something is wrong when they stare-
They want to protect you everywhere
Pit bulls love you from the start
They hold you dear to their heart.
 
             by Deja




Judge the deed
not the breed.
So give a pit bull a try
before you sentence them all
to die

   by Sameer


Pit bulls are cool
Pit bulls are cool
I wish they would put pit bulls in school.

I have a pit bull
They are sweet.
But please don't put these pit bulls in tea.

They are protective
They are intelligent
They are elegant.

Pit bulls are cool
Pit bulls are cool
I wish they would put pit bulls in school

They cuddle and protect you

Unless you don't love them

My pit bull is filled with love.
He smells like white dove.
Sometimes I look down
but he is above.
He shines like light
He's faster than my bike
He's my passion
He's my life.

I am the one who fought for you
Because it's what you asked
I am the one who would have died for you
If to me that is what you tasked

I am the one who forgave each blow
landed upon my frame.
I am the one who denied my nature
To bring you blood-soaked fame.

Properly Distracting Poetry and Super Bowl Crostics


"If we desire a society of peace, then we cannot achieve such a society through violence. If we desire a society without discrimination, then we must not discriminate against anyone in the process of building this society. If we desire a society that is democratic, then democracy must become a means as well as an end."

         Bayard Rustin


        Meditation of the Subject of Violence:

Very horrible
Ill actions
On the line to prison

Bully Letters

201 Bridgewater Road
Brookhaven, PA  19015

1234 Give Me Your Money Road
Angry, Pennsylvania 19127

Dear Bully,

     It is not good to be a bully because if others bully you back, you won't like it. I think you should be nice. If you are not nice, you will never get anywhere in life. You will also not have any friends, but if you are nice and you stop bullying people, you maybe can have a lot of friends.

Sincerely,

Your 6th grade friend from 6-5





Dear Bully McMeany,

     We have to talk. I think you need to stop bullying me. Not only me but other people you bully. Do you understand what you are doing? You are causing more hate and harmful things to happen in the world. Just imagine what's happening to the people you are bullying right now.
     I don't know if you are going through stuff at home, but bullying is not the way. Treat others the way you want to be treated and please STOP the bullying!

Very truly yours,

J.





Dear K,

Hey K, it's been a while since we last saw each other in school. I was the girl you called names in elementary school. I think you are a good person on the inside, but you act tough around people. We used to be good friends, but your friends changed you. I hope one day that we can be friends again.

Sincerely,

D.







Dear Billy Bad Boy,

Why are you so mean? Why do you bully people so much? I mean you can ask your mom for some lunch money. If there is something going on in our family, please don't take it out on us. And please, don't beat me up for telling the truth. Also, please stop calling me Pipsqueek.

Much love,

A.

"Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. I am not unmindful of the fact that violence often brings about momentary results. Nations have frequently won their independence in battle. But in spite of temporary victories, violence never brings permanent peace."
