Stones Of Glass

Stones Of Glass

Earth's crust expands as the stones turned to glass.

Rocks and shooting stars became dust as the crack of day slips by.

Sky so vividly strong with colors that flourished the sky

On the west side it was bright but the east horizon had no crack of day

With no possible hope or negativity being replaced.

The melancholy energy sizzled through the air catching our attention as we inhaled

The positive and negative energy invaded our souls

Conquering our red and white blood cells, heart pumps slower than before

Head cramping, body falling, soul screaming

Alone with the last stones that hugged this earth

The screams of the stones become quiet

Our souls collided closer together as we inhaled the broken stones

Hope left this quiet earth as this world and us vanishes

The stones become broken more fragile than glass

As we look into the stones the world and us meets reality

Earth's crust is slowly vanishing causing hurricanes and more chaos

This earth is finally particles of glass as we stand there

Frozen and turned into the fragile statue of stone

Metro Eagles Soar to the Playoffs

The Metropolitan High School made it to the playoffs with a 9-7 victory against last years champions. Javier Rosario (‘18)  made the game winning  four run home run in the final inning. He was responsible for two more runs and he scored the first two point at the beginning of the game.

The Metropolitan  H.S. boys record is 3-1. “I am proud of my boys,” Coach Passafiume said proudly. He also said they are a great group. Passafiume was proud of Javier and his work. Captain Jeremy Santos (‘16) felt happy that “the experience of playing this year after not playing last year” brought him new energy. Javier was “so happy that he gets to go to the playoffs. I couldn’t play because of health problems,” but now with a clean bill of health Javier is playing extremely well.

A Jahn Stepney (‘16) said that “last year many students couldn’t play due to grades but this year the group works really well” and everyone is trying to stay passing. “We’re doing what we have to do in class and on the field.”

Shades Of Grey

Every time I looked at you, colors will appear

So beautiful that towards the end I ended up with fear

Looking at you now and my sight is not clear

Try to see closer but you weren't very near

Try to move on but you were always in my way

Once full of color, now my heart is shades of grey

Hearing you sound so gentle, so smart

There once was a time that you were a work of art

I was dark as night 

You were bright as day

Once full of color, now look who's finally shades of grey 

Looking at me, time to time me popping in your mind 

Everyday my sight got clearer until you became blind.

Lesson Learned

1 person with a huge heart

1 person with no soul 

Huge heart has hope 

While the soul loses control

Huge heart has a future 

Soul wants theirs to end 

Soul has a gang 

Huge heart has one friend

Huge heart falls for soul

but doesn't know the truth

Heart has hopes that soul won't let loose 

Huge heart falls but the soul flies

Heart then gets hurt and life is finally in its eyes

Soul played heart wrong all along

Heart was broken 

But pick the pieces to stay strong 

Heart moved on

But soul always had heart on its mind 

Soul finds care for heart that is deep inside

Soul asks heart for another chance another try 

Heart's been hurt so much

It had no cares to give this time 

Heart's last words before it finally moves on and never see soul again

"Always lament, honesty is the best policy. So long my once true friend"
