Hi all,
Here’s the final poem to study: “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes.
Please share your thoughts and reflections with us below.
Life is like a game of chess
it takes time to learn
time to win
it has ups and downs
Life isn’t like a video game
that fries your brain
and looses your soul
or having a brain the size as a pea
If you haven’t figured it out yet then,
life isn’t like a straight line
You have bumps that go up or down
Life is like a cake its bitter or sweet
so you will turn corners and climb some problems
so don’t give up because life is a mystery with ups or downs
life isn’t a straight line
Its like a broken board
Life is like scissors,
Your life gets cut at some point,
and you had a nice time while it was.
Life is like data,
it keeps your memories safe,
and it can get deleted.
Life is like emotions,
it changes a lot.
Life is like a story,
it has a start,
and it finally ends.
Listen here boy
life aint been any kid video games
im loosing
never winning
but now
still the same
failing
But Iv’e been tryin’
with all my might
reaching the end of the game
no more mission faliure
a lot more of mission accomplished
So what I’m sayin’ is
never give up
always strive for accuracy
Listen here
Life forme ain’t been Hoolywood
No camera’s behind my back
Fans are no’ surrounding me
Climin’ up and always trying
Never letting go off my dreams
Looking for hope
Even when there was dislikes
So don’t give up now
You started it then finish and try till the end
And life for me ain’t been no acting
Listen her boy ,
life aint been any kid video games
Im loosing
never winning
but now
still the same
failing
But I’ve been tryin’
with all my might
reaching the end of the game
no more mission faliure
a lot more of mission accomplished
So wgat I’m sayin’ is
never give up
always strive for your target
well son let me tell you this:
life aint been a Holiday.
there are no rainbows no sunshine
stuck behind the same four walls since 1898 no pools just baths.
climbing some ladders to reach for sunlight and rain bows but then hit 1902 when we went on some planes to go on holidays.
well son , I’ll tell you:
life for me ain’t been a dream ,
it had spits of fire ,
and no lights to show the way ,
and scary face that put you down.
I reach for the light
trying to find the way out of this nightmare
hiding from all those faces,
even when it can’t stop ,
but I have conquered it.
please don’t give up now ,
wake up and see the lights ,
and reach for the stars.
and son make your life a happy dream.
Life for me aint been cleaning up when ever i look so where paper rubish
Plastic are laying down on the floor
Life for me being dark not light
lisen here boy life for me aint been a private island
im looking at walls
stuck in side
no way out of here
even thou im stuck
im hiting the walls
ive seen a peak
ive broke out im finaly free
dont stop now one day you will get there try and try agen
life is like me and you
i have a secret to tell you
spinning up and down
all around
life for me dont’t waist my time
i want to shine high to the sky
but i cant survive
will you help me rise to the sky
but all the time i just try try try to cry
but all the time i want to survive
even when there’ been fails
i never folter
Listen up
My life aint been an owner of a car dealerships,
Me aint own a car,
I aint been a millionaire
without are sports car
Listen up I am trying
so i can be better than someone
To strive for accuracy
to own a dealerships
me aint dont give up
I never be a failure
so I will try to be a car dealerships.
Listen here:
life for me ain’t been a sports star
In life I haven’t been dunken like Jordan
haven’t been succeeding like Ali
haven’t been getting sets like federer
But even through the tough times
I got up like Lingard
fought like tyson
to stand up for myself
so never give up
stand up like sterling
fight like the pistons
stand up for yourself
life for me ant been no super star and no rich person walking around whith lots of richy money. so listen here ok i aint been a good persom somthing to people i really want to be friends with but i also ant been a great person.
well boy let me tell you
life ain’t video games
I’am stuck on level 1 of Mario bros
always beaten by Bowser
but I always return with a koopa shell in my hand
even with kamek on his side
I strive for accuracy to beat bowser
and I have beaten every boss without a fail
life for me may not have been as perfect like a diamond i am not gonna be perfect id rather stay normal playing with friend’s getting surrounded by them may of also been heartbroken by them.. sometimes life isn’t such a rainbow sometimes it could be cloudy and dark but i try my hardest not to give up life for me is not a large rainbow its a half one like half a dark cloud sometimes i get upset why..? ive been through the largest dark cloud but my life can turn into a rainbow but not a perfect one..!
Life ain’t crystal clear
Straight not bent
injuries top to bottom
Life is hard not going to lie
We all have ups and’s downs
All we do is work and work
We work day and night
High not low we study until moon
Sunrise and we go to school
Sunsets and we rest
Bright in the morning we are awake
At the end we still enjoy are day
We smile and laugh
We hang out as a group
Us friends get along
Not always do we get to keep are friends
Listen here
life ain’t been a party
No stayin’ up late,no pools
getting in trouble daily
And somehow less time on the playstation
and no matter how hard it is to listen I still try,
I still hang in there and stay positive (with my positivity book)
i aint filled with greatness
i am filled with determination
I am from the streets of Islington
from polutic and noisy
I am from a family of sports and tidiness
I am from the N7 roads wich have shops opposite
I am from emerald isle and the middle east
I am from a really big family
I’m from a boxing club
and stepping into the ring every day
I am from the child with trophies , medals and prices in the ring
( One day I hope to be just like Mohamed Ali )
United way
Its hard to hope,
hard to cope ,
while we might be all alone ,
we’ve never been more strong ,
because we will only weather this together,
so we go to work ,
we mend we don’t break even when we bend ,
somewhere , another time ,
somewhere another place ,
we are the best ,
making our friendship brighter , greater
fighting fore our lives in the world,
so there to come ,
to be hope-sighted never diveded ,
for when we live to give we always bring .
well son ill tell you
life aint been luxary
its got tanks
and splinters
this aint no private jet
but all the time i still climb
trying to reach the top
life is not like a golden plain
going up and down
and all around i wish i was in some
golden town dont give up now
you need cash around
or i will be on the ground with old bags
not up high in the sky
with all the birds.
Listen here boi
Life for me aint been a millionaire
I’ve been left with 99p
Money,money my 1st priority
Well let me tell ya
Life ain’t been a millionaire
No money at the end of my rainbow
Soon ill be looking at the rusty old streets within’ a week
But iv’e been trying
life isn’t fair!
reaching out to the stars
even when there are tricky times
I always think of positive vibes
Don’t give up now !
stand up tall and straight
for i’m still working
life ain’t been no millionaire
Hey you listen up,
Life for me aint a holiday
Ive been buried in sand not making sand castles
Ill never drown , ill always float,
You know ive been eating cerial not ice cream,
You know ive been sleeping in blankets not paradise,
Life for me is drinking juice not coconuts,
PlayIng outside not in water,
Life fo me aint no holiday,
Life for me is family,
well boi
life hasnt been no mansion
it had ingries splinters and broken bones [like me]
no roof to hold us up
no carpet
but kept on going
no matter what happend
i kept going turning corners
reaching out
and im still going
better than ever
life aint been no mansion
very insprational and funny
Life is like the wind,sometimes a hurricane and sometimes a breeze
Well son let me tell ya,
Life ain’t be no holiday
It ain’t had no golden jets
It had rusty,green chairs
An’ ripped up walls
An’ splinters pokin’ through my feet.
But i try
I fly to the sky
But i ain’t see no rainbows nor any sunshine
But I conquered it,
So don’t give up now
Reach up to the sky!
Saven
