SUPER.HERO

Super.Hero is our first choral poem with contributions from all of the students in Literacy Arts. We thought about important people in our lives and then imagined we were superheroes who could do anything we wanted take care of our loved ones.

Super.hero

Give my strength
Go back in time

People would have less stress on their mind
Children would have money for college tuition
Parents wouldn’t have to worry

I’d go to Mexico, cross the bridge and bring my two brothers with me
Help my mother learn English
Get Dad a better job and more money

Super.hero
Give my strength
Go back in time

I’d bring my sisters and stepbrothers to the U.S.
Help my dad get his job back
Get my sister her own business
I’d get my mom off drugs

Go back in time to say good-bye to my grandpa
Grandma would have her own farm with all of the animals she wants
I’d give my little brother the strength he needs to pursue his music career
Make his small business a big business

Super.hero
Give my strength
Go back in time

Grandpa would still be here on earth
Making all of my family
All the people I love have smiles on their faces

See my father full of life
Help my mother work so she can go home and rest
She works hard
I would make her young again

People wouldn’t have to die too soon
Mom didn’t have to suffer in her childhood
Dad would never go back to jail
Curtis would see his dad all the time

Super.hero
Give my strength
Go back in time

Help my family
Make them laugh
Buy my mom the house of her dreams
Make my brother a pro soccer player

Help my Auntie Dee with her legs because they bleed a lot
Destroy autism for my brother
I’d help my cousin find confidence in herself, get out of the hospital, and stop thinking that the only way things will get better is if she dies

Super.hero
Give my strength
Go back in time

Give F students straight A’s
My sister would be smart and write fast and speak better
I would change a friend’s mind about dropping out of high school

Young people would get out of the gang life
Block Marcus from the bullet
Tonya would have a boyfriend that really loves her and her baby
Girls would never get raped

Super.hero
Give my strength
Go back in time

We are only human but
Our poems will never fade away.

My name is Sade and what I think about "SUPER,HERO'' is that he talks about things thats happening in world today. In the text he said that young women does not have to give their baby's up for abortion and drop out of school. He said that if college was free they don't have to do that, they could keep going.

Kadari Jackson said...

My name is Kadari Jackson...... And personally, I favor the " Young as You Are " poem. It really stands out and speaks to me, as well as it should send a message to others. The poem basically restates the saying....
" Be All You Can Be ". Young as we are, do all we can do, be all we can be. Have a positive outlook on life and no goal is too far or incapable of obtaining.
