Deserted in the Middle of Nowhere

And there I was

Riding a mini bus

Staring outside the window

Lights flickering faint yellow

I gazed in the sky

It was gloomy and cloudy

There were no stars too shiny

It was plain dark and murky

As the driver turned the wheel

And we got up a hill

I caught a glimpse of a boy

Wearing ragged clothes and nothing more

As time passed by

I started thinking why

Parents leave their child

And show neither affection nor love

They live by themselves

Walking in the streets

Asking for something to eat

And are looking for tenderness

They seem hopeless and fatal

Boring and not cared about

As for their lives,

It’s either they live or die

There is Hope

                 Have you seen our environment for the last few years?  Those times when the sun shone brightly in the clear blue sky. The gleaming white moon and the little stars that twinkle in the dark night sky. The earth full of tress making it green. Can you imagine how beautiful our world was? Try to compare it to the present condition of our land. Stars that you can barely see because of the pollutants in the atmosphere. Trees chopped down to build high scrapers and buildings. Those fishes that died because of the dirty bodies of water. What will happen after fifty years or so? Will the world be the same or will it be a black place? Is there a way of stopping this from worsening?

                Tall buildings, wide roads, crowded shopping malls and shiny new cars are some of the things you see in a modern city. High technology, gadgets and automatic appliances are the result of science and researches. But are they thinking about the damage that occurs in our environment because of being irresponsible? The usage of chemicals that act as poison and synthetic materials that destroys and kills life and nature. Today, earth is already a polluted place, but there are some ways of restoring our environment if we act now. The first thing we have to do is to be disciplined. We should segregate our trash and throw things properly. We should also plant trees and join the organizations that take care of our natural resources. Instead of plastics, we can use paper bags. If we keep on doing these ways, I believe we can change the world into a better place.

                The environment is a very important thing in our daily lives. Even if we can’t see it, we need the oxygen that the trees provide us through photosynthesis. We eat the fishes that live in the sea. We also eat vegetables and fruits to have a well-balanced diet. These things are very simple but have a great role in the world.

Romeo and Juliet: Epic Failure

                Romeo and Juliet have a very entertaining plot. The scenes are full of excitement. It touched the hearts of its readers. If I were given the chance to change the last part of Romeo and Juliet I would like to make it as a comic relief.

                Romeo drank the vial of poison after he killed Paris. Romeo thought that he was dead but he is not. He tried to study why the poison didn’t work. He recalled the taste of the liquid he drank earlier. It was sweet and tasted like strawberries. Romeo read the label on the bottle. The label was supposed to be “deadly poison” but the label says it is “sweet juice”. The merchant may have accidentally placed the juice instead of the poison. After that, Juliet came out of her coffin and Paris started have consciousness. Romeo thought that maybe he was really dead and he is with some spirits of those who died. He pinched his arm to know if it is true or not. He flinched. He can still feel something. That only means he is alive. The happenings around him made him light-headed. Juliet walked towards Romeo and hugged him. She was very happy that Romeo was still with her. Paris stood there looking like an idiot and was shocked, just like Romeo, to see Juliet, whom they thought was dead, still breathing. Romeo asked Juliet why was she not dead. Juliet explained her plan to Romeo. She also told Paris that she loves Romeo and not him. Paris accepted that Juliet can’t be with him and was about to walk away when Romeo asked the same question he said earlier. Romeo was sure that he killed Paris. Paris told Romeo that when Romeo delivered his final blow, Paris was able to dodge the blade but it was the handle of the sword that hit him in the head that’s why he got unconscious. After telling the reason to Romeo Paris left the scene heart broken and crying. Friar Lawrence entered with the nurse, Montague, Capulet and Prince Escalus. The head of the family was astonished to see Romeo and Juliet together. But what really surprised them was the shriek of the nurse. She jumped out of her feet and ran to Juliet to hug her. She was murmuring something about dead people. Juliet didn’t mind the nurse and told their parents what happened. While narrating, Montague and Capulet wore a wide grin across their faces. When they were done telling the story, Montague and Capulet laughed. They said that Romeo and Juliet can live together forever. Romeo and Juliet were confused. Friar Lawrence explained that both of their parents had an idea of being friends and set aside their prides to have peace. The couple was happy to hear the news. The prince even approved that Romeo could stay with Juliet in Verona. In the end, they lived happily ever after.

                Romeo and Juliet is truly fascinating. It is amazing and I would like to recommend it to the other readers out there.

Romeo and Juliet: After Story

                Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy made by William Shakespeare. The story is very interesting and fascinating. I didn’t expect the ending to be a sad one. The plot is remarkable and I guess Shakespeare put all his time and effort in making the story. He really thought on how the story will begin and how it will end. I really had a great time reading the story.

                If I were to change the ending of the story, it will be a happy ending.  Paris will jump in the scene where Romeo already opened the coffin of Juliet. Paris and Romeo will fight until they are breathless. After few more minutes, Juliet will wake up and will see Romeo and Paris with their swords clashing together. She will ask both of them to stop and will tell the truth and her plan to Paris and Romeo. Paris will accept his defeat for the love of Juliet and will leave. Friar Lawrence will appear and will suggest to Romeo and Juliet to also tell their parents about their relationship or if they will not, they should leave immediately. Both of them chose to confront their parents and tell what really happened. Montague and Capulet will realize that there should not be hatred between them, instead there should be peace. They will allow Juliet and Romeo to be with the company of each other as long as they live.

                To sum it all up, “Romeo and Juliet” is a great story. You will know how powerful love is to a person. And love is the reason why there is peace.

The Most Precious Treasure

            A family is a group of people whom you cling onto when you have problems. They are those who love you and are willing to sacrifice anything for you. They stand by your side when you’re in grief. You share laughter with them.  Even if you’re not blood-related, you can consider other people as long as you are happy with them. All in all, they are those who complete your life and also your world.

            An ideal family has understanding, love and peace. There should be unity and faith between each member of the family. Secrets are not supposed to be kept and lies are not to be made. A family must face all the hardships and difficulties in life. They are supposed to hang on no matter what happens. This will prove how tough each member is and also their unity.

                Never lose trust in your family. Always keep intact with them because life is short and each person has only one chance to live. Be happy that you still have your family because they are the most precious treasure a person can have here in earth.
