Destiny

I stick my head through the metal bars
My eyes scan the trees,
The road,
The pastures,
And the sky,
But you still aren't there.
A girl comes up and
Says my name, Destiny,
She pets me,
But I don't notice
Because this girl,
Wasn't you.
The lights go off
And I decide to give up
For the day.
I eat and I dream
I dream about you
About how you came
Every day.
How you would brush me,
How you would laugh,
Last of all I dream of you riding me,
In the arena,
The show,
And the trails.
I wake up and remember
Maybe today
You will come.
I stick my head through the metal bars
My eyes scan the trees,
The road,
The pastures and the sky,
But still you aren't there.

Thunder Storm

The lighting flashes,
Thunder booms in the distance,
and the rain pours down

Here and There

Over here,

the thunder cracks,

wind blows,

lighting strikes,

But over there,

the sun shines,

wind blows lightly,

birds flutter.

Over here,

ice hangs on trees,

the wind chills your bones,

snow falls to the ground,

But over there,

the temperature climbs high,

humidity hugs your skin,

the ground burns your feet.

Snow Flakes

Silver snow flakes blur
In the evening,
Sparkling, fluttering free,
Dozens of dashing
Silver snow flakes blur

Say No To Fast Food

A juicy delicious burger appears on the TV screen, making your mouth water. You look at your watch. YOU'RE LATE! You rush out of the house, forgetting to eat. At a stoplight you see a fast food place. The picture on the TV rushes back to your mind, and you turn off the road to the place. Why would you do that? Because it's quick? Fast food isn't worth it and isn't good.

Have you ever bitten into that juicy burger from your favorite fast food place? As you know that's a BIG mistake. Fast food is unhealthy and fattening. Meals from fast food places usually have 1000 calories! Also don't get thinking I'll just have a salad. Salads from McDonald's range from 150 to 450 calories. That's a lot. Most salads have light green lettuce, which though it might taste good, is not very healthy. Dark green lettuce is much more healthy.

Fast food is extremely messy too. It's usually fried, greasy, or crammed with so much food it's over flowing. Once I was eating at a fast food place, picked up my napkin, set it down on my food for 5 seconds and picked it up soaked with grease. I've also seen my brother get in trouble for spilling his Big Mac in the car, lettuce and sauce spilling all over.

Have you seen the Wendy's commercial? The song is very catchy, but the big question is, is it true? Is fast food usually fresh? No, sadly not. Just because they say it is doesn't mean it's true. If fast food was fresh wouldn't it take longer than a couple of minutes to cook?

Next time you eat at a fast food place think about what's going into your body. So what do you think about fast food now? Is that juicy burger worth it?
