O.M.G Contest
Woot.


My teacher is having us do this project that is going to be entered into this newspaper contest.The contest is basically about the environment,and all that political stuff.Like what you think about it.There are two parts in this contest,the writing part and an art part.You either draw something that has to do with the topic of the contest,or write something.I'm entering both sections,I'm kinda' done with the writing part and I'm still working on the drawing.Here is my writing section,tell me if you want me to add something or just correct something.Constructive criticism is loved.<3



The Skittle Alchemist

A Transparent Melody

I'm no politician or a senator.I'm not the president or

some candidate.I don't work in the White House or run any country.I'm just me.A

human being just like everyone else.I don't know much about politics.I know I

should but I don't.To me politics is just one big soap oprah.I don't mean to

insult,I'm just speaking my mind.Something I'm free to do.I see this world as one

big toy box.All the land and water and other things are it's toys.Those people that

are in control are like the small children who play with these toys.They pick the ones

they want and get a bit aggressive with it.Pretty soon they want more and so the

only other way is to take one away from somebody.I know we need rules.They are

important,but seriously.Sharing and maybe forgiving a few faults isn't going to kill

you.If someone isn't going to step up to the plate,it's just going to be more

havoc.Our world is practically dissolving right before our eyes.But no-one can see

it,because war,anger,revenge is the illusion that blocks it.Some see it,some can see

our world crumbling away.And those people try,they try to stop it,they try to warn

us.We don't pay attention to them though,because to us they are invisible.They are

transparent people who don't exist.I see this entire thing as a song.A sad melody

that has been playing since our first conflict.This song repeats.And it's going to keep

repeating if no-one dose anything.It'll just keep playing and playing,haunting us till we

act.Do you know who sings this song?Those invisible people,those people who care

about the earth and believe in some sort of peace.Even if it's just a little.I know that

'Utopia' will never exist,it's impossible.Too much good isn't right,but too much

conflict is certainly not right either.I'm no optimist and I'm not going to lecture

you.I'm simply stating my view of things.Sure,maybe no-one will read this and

actually think about it.I know that and I can live with it.I am one of those

transparent people,singing that sad melody over and over again.Watching this earth

disappear day by day.I feel sorry for those who don't get a chance to live on this

earth.I feel sorry for those who'll have to go threw that horrible and scary part of

our song.We all are at blame in some small way,I am too,and I know that.But,at

least I'm trying to change,trying to get ends to meet.You might actually try it and

end up singing this song with us,so that we are heard by those who are deaf from

it.Honestly,I think we can change the world,maybe not a whole lot.But a little,and a

little is good enough.
