Guess what...

I'm done with my online history class!!!
Just about anyway. I'm done with all the work, all the essays, the projects, the journal entries, the reading, and the chapter tests. All I have to do now is mail in all of the journal entries, projects, and essays, and request the final. I will take the final sometime within the next week, have my transcripts sent in, they'll arrive at the school in a week or 2, and I'll be able to graduate!!!!!
I was feeling so unmotivated to write a poem for one of the chapters today. I had to write it about today's culture. After sitting there, working on another project and thinking about it, like what happens with most of my poems, the words started running through my head. I stopped what I was doing, opened up a word document and typed it out. It's really not that great, but it'll get an A and I'll pass and I'll graduate. And it rhymes! The requirements asked for 16 lines and it had to be about MY views of the American culture today. Didn't have to rhyme, but it does. :)

What’s the matter with the world today?
Can’t they see that they’ve all gone astray
From the hopes and beliefs that we used to all have
They say they’re true to it, but they’re going down the wrong path
What used to be right is now seen as more than wrong
The evil is quickly rising and becoming more strong
The family values of the world are being misused
And shredded apart by those who are highly confused
About what they think is right and what they have for goals
They say the purpose of their actions is to find their deepest souls
But how can you find a soul with sex and drugs and beer?
I thought the purpose of life was all inside of here,
Here being the home, the family, the knowledge and truth
Of all things good and evil, not of illegal misuse!
All the drugs and immorality and hypocrisy that I see
Is making me question, are the people truly free?
