 * Environment**

The icecaps are melting Polar bears are drowning Animals are dying

Our population is growing Soon there will be no more nature Pretty things to see Dust, Concrete, and Buildings will Be all we see.

 * Presidential Candidates**

I don't understand. Why they hate each other so. Maybe they don't. Who's to know?

I know for sure. That they have different views. About the war in Iraq, And healthcare too.

They invade each others privacy Slander each others names. Demonize their opponents' opinions. And just love to place blame.

What is the reason for this Hate? Why do they deny what they clearly state? Why do they attack each others flaws? Don't they realize that there is no applause?

But after all is said and done. One will sit in Washington. Then it will be up to him to see. If it was worth stepping on so many feet.

 * "War"**

Onto War When two cultures collide and don't agree, many will die.

Oh war, they will raise their arms and will go to war many will die some will wail but in the end we will all fail

 * Current Events Story**

I was lying in bed one night when I had a dream. In the dream I saw the future. It was a bad future. The air was brown and dirty and I couldn't breathe. I couldn't see a tree anywhere. I thought it was because the fog was blinding me, but someone told me that the last one was chopped down years ago. The water looked like thick mud. There wasn't any plant life left, so people had to eat animals that were stuffed in small cages. Before we reached that future. I said I would start to be kind to the environment and tell others to do so to. Then I went back to bed.
