I’m only 6, why do this to me?
You have me locked in so now I can’t see
You have me blocked off from the world I once knew,
I never thought this was something you’d do.

You took me away from my mom and dad,
They were my only family, they were all I had.
Without them I have to try to survive,
I have to continue on, for life I will thrive

You make me think I am an animal of some sort,
Like I’ve done something, and waiting for my day in court.
I often fear your soldiers will have me killed,
They have us dig gravesites and tombstones they make us build.

I’d love to be free as any other child,
Dead bodies on top of bodies are made into piles.
I hope one day I make it out alive,
Although all of my pride and dignity has been derived.

Why o Lord why me?
Why did this happen to thee?
I’m fighting the war
I can’t do any more
Why o lord why me?

Before this war I could see
I was trying to be all I could be,
Suddenly a bomb flew
There was nothing I could do,
Soon after there was nothing I could see

Although I had on my mask
The air I could not grasp
It contained chlorine
To strong for me
It left me sick and blind too.

Cherish your eye sight everyday,
Because on day you might have to pay,
I never thought
It would happen to me
For being all that I could be.

Is war necessary?

I don't think war is necessary, because there is no need for violence. Violence is not the answer to everything. If you have to use violence and terror as a way to get your point across then there really is no need to make that point because you never know what your action will cause in reaction to the other person, and or country. Sometimes you have to sit and talk things out, even if a person does something to you......turn the other cheek, atleast thats what i was taught.

Would you go?

To first off answer the question would i go? No, i wouldn't i mean i don't like exploring and finding new things. Some rewards that i might find is new life on the plant. I mean with our world like it is with global warming and the landfills, findong a better place to live would be good. The second thing that i might find is that people and aliens do exist in outer space. There is another life and another civilization up there.
Some risk that might happen going into the unknown is not knowing what you are getting yourself into. Yeah, there migth be aliens up there but they might not like humans and you might be abducted.
You migth also run into comets and they might blow you up and you might die

today's inventions

The printing press was invented by Johannas Gutenberg. It was invented to make things easier instead of having to wirte things out by hand. With that invention it helped to produce books in a shorter amount of time, and with doing this the economy could buy more books and give the economy more more. It also helped those who could'nt read or write. So with more people that was purchasings books, it hepled people teach themselves how to read or write.

One of todays modern inventions that i would say helpes the most is computers. We also have type writters but they we don't to much use those anymore. Most computes even have a thing where you have a spell check and it will correct the word for you. With writing a book it helps you as well because it stores information and its way more faster than typing on a type writter, and also more advanced.

what does carpe diem mean to me?

Assignment 1: Preview Reflection Blog Post: Carpe Diem?Write a blog post that addresses the following question to get you thinking about this unit.Base your response to this question on your own experiences.
Do you agree with the famous Latin saying carpe diem? Why? or Why not?
Carpe diem translates as pluck the day. It involves the enjoyment of the pleasures of the moment without concern for the future.

Yes, i agree with the latin term because to me its just like saying live life to the fulliest. I mean you may never know what may happen, i see it as saying live everyday like it was your last. You can't get to the future if you can't get past the present. Take everyday step by step, i mean it's ok to think ahead but don't get to far ahead of yourself.

what religion am i?


Each of the places that we visited St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Congregation of the Children of Israel, and Al Huda Islamic Center. I enjoyed learning about other religions, and i also felt as if they coinsided with the religion that i study. Even though they don't worship in the same ways that we do, i can still respect and follow along with the way that they worship. I wouldn't mind going back, becasue i learned alot about what other religions believe in and who they follow, and different things that they do to worship, and how they go about praying.


When i walked into the buildings i felt as if i was walking into one of my churchs, all of them had the same beliefs that i did. I either saw pictures of jesus, or god. All of the religions had traits of one or the other. Like praying for instance, all of the religions prayed atleast 1 time a day. I thought that some of the buildings were really small then i thought that some of them were really big.


I learned that some of the religions had different names for god, like allah was one of them, and some believe that moses was the first prophet ever to exist. I already had a pretty good vision of what they guest speaker would look like, and most of them where old. They looked like guys that had been around for a long time. I thought that it was really cool how they take off their shoes and put their heads on the floor and pray. I also thought it was cool how the jews torah was written in hebrew and how he understood it, and just read it like it was nothing.

why does religion exist???

In my opinion i think that different religions exist because of heritage, belief, and a background. Many people are brought up on certain beliefs, from their childhood. Some people are brought up on what their grandparents and ancestors believe. Religion is not something that just came abour or just happened to evolve. It's something that has been around for decades and decades. You can't just sterotype someone because of there beliefs or religion background. Their decision might not have been their choice. Yes i think that all religions have a creator, and they all have a beginning. People continue to follow that religion because of their religious beliefs, and the different values of that religion, and what they believe. It serves a purpose in their lifes because its how some people worship on a daily bases. Many religions have things that you are suppose to do on a daily bases. For ex: Christianity, you are suppose to pray when u wake up, before you eat and before you go to bed. It all depends on the customs of that religion.

What does it mean to be civiliized???

To be civilized means to have self control. Someone that is civilized is someone that knows how to take care of things in the correct way and correct manner with out having any problems. Someone that is civilized is someone that also knows how to respect others and their property. Who doesn’t disrespect others when things aren’t going their way. Who knows how to show remorse for others and compassion when they need it. They also know how to help others in time of need when they need. They know how to handle things without all the fighting and the conflict.
