As I close my eyes I can cleary picture the strenuous toll that was plastered on the faces of thoes frail, thin frammed bodies.

Working from dawn til duskwith clinky,clanky chains wrapped around their feet.

They sing a sad, sowworful song to the hails thundering beat
I thank the Lord for where I am today
Saved by Him
As I easily could have been one of them.

I was working on a Holocaust project for English class and was inspired to write a poem about it.

“We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.”- dr suess

"Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself."
— John Green

I really like the idea of this.

Its short and sweet but its also very heartbreaking.
