Poem, Short Story, or Short Short Story?

Look into his eyes.
Those chocolate irisis surrounded by a part of black licorice.
Dive into the black pool,
and penetrate through the invisible wall to see an amazing boy;

A beautiful colored boy,
sticking out like the only black pawn crowded
around by white pawns, knights, bishops, rooks, king, and queen in a checkered game.
What is he?
What is this miniature male capable to do?
Or destined to do?
Or forced to do?
Or "suggested" to do?
Is he a puppet on a string or the master of the puppet?

Through the brittle bones of decay,
Bold rocks bloom into muscle of steel,
formed by confidence, strength, courage and heart.

Little boy darts like lightening bolts,
striking through the puppetry chains.
He dives freely like a dolphin;
Swims.

Figures of Speech

City awakes in the night
its colorful bedazzled jewelry across the black sky
dancing and singing to its bluey jazz.

City awakes in the night
covered in raw sewage on its gloomy pavement
throwing up guts and poop and crying buckets of rain...in other words...drunk.

--------------------------------------------
Gum plots a pot of revenge
plumping its pink stickiness of bulging fat
bullets to the grass lightly clawing on the blade.

Gum waits on top of the grass
its rubbery suction attached to a child's ass
"Mwaahahaha," the evil laughs.

--------------------------------------------
The sheep prances in the grassfields
its wooly mass driven by miniatre horse legs
"Bah, bah," singing her beautiful opera.

The sheep stands on four on a lime-green hill
her black licorice face glistens
"Awwwww..." she rises up to the heavens.

Public Health Concern

The reasons are direct and upfront. Obesity and teenage smoking will cause a death of an unborn generation.

Teenage Smoking

Teenage smoking is a problem that occurs today and even around my mother's teenage life. Smoking represented, according to teenagers, coolness. With smoking teens can puff as many times as they want, make cool smoke designs, and do all kinds of tricks.  BUT!! Is it really worth it? Attention Teenagers Who Smoke: STOP KILLING YOUR DAMN LUNGS! You are not cool when you are *@!?ing smoking your internal organs out of your mouth full of vomit! You will burn your skin from the inside of your throat and out and turn into smolthering dust of rotten smog! Don't be tempted to smoking because you will die! If marijuana is illegal, shouldn't cigarettes be illegal as well. Cigarettes are three times as harmful than marijuana. Oh! Attention Teenagers Who Smoke: Don't be so freaking naive you little confused bastards. If your friends or anyone who offer you to smoke, tell them to back off and let them face the "Demon of Black Plague". Let your friends trigger the smoke detectors and set a building on fire. The only consequences they will face is ugliness, heart failure, and then....DEATH!

Math

Math is the basis to everyday life. Everyone has to calculate something in order to know how much money he or she makes (or loses) or how much time does it take for his or her little sibling to walk to the candy store around the corner. We cannot get away from math neither can we purposely forget about math. Math is an instinct that human beings have and without it we will have random disasters that can destroy the human race. We learn math in school because we need to be able to add, subtract, multiply, divide and other aspects on the mnemonic device PEMDAS. In order for us to become efficient in math, we need 1) to practice and 2) to have excellent math teachers. But so many people, especially African Americans, are not putting forth the effort to practice neither learn the math material. It's hard to believe since it is supposed to be the nature of African Americans to do so well in math, but it takes a motive and the skill of a great teacher to mentor and teach them and other minorities. Don't you think?!

Food

Why else would anyone choose the foods they eat? Everyone has their personal taste or preference of the foods they like. A person can like a certain food because of how it is well presented (e.g., color, texture, smell). In contrast, another person can like the same food because of its name. For instance, my mother likes mushrooms. She eats them because she likes the taste. In constrast, I hate mushrooms because of the texture that makes me want to vomit mushy fungus. Some poeple will choose the foods they eat based on the nutrition facts label. Individuals are either on a diet or can be allergic to any contents in the food product. One of my friends last school semester ate a certain granola bar that had peanut contents in them. She knew she was allergic to peanuts but she accidently didn't read the label on the back of wrapper that said: CONTAINS PEANUTS. Her face swelled a little bit and she lost her voice for the entire day. So...how do you choose the particular foods you eat?

Internet

The Internet is used to find the available resources needed to fulfill your purpose. Whether it is to research the history of telephones or how zippers became a wonderful invention, the Internet is a great tool to find all the answers to your questions. The Internet is used as an easy access to personal drama in a person's life. This includes Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Oovoo, Myspace, and any other social networks. Anyone can know everything about you and what you are going through. That is how hackers came into existence. Individuals can tap into your personal information and use it for wrongdoing. Many wrongdoings in the Internet consist of profanity, sexual harrassment, swearing, death threats, and creating viruses. Why ever use the Internet if we have evil people destroying innocent people's lives through blogs and other websites? Then again there are evil people in television too. What is up with that? Hackers of the Internet are nothing but scared creeps who are too weak to take down another person with one hand face-to-face. Besides the negative aspects of the Internet, the Internet is a faster way to look up items and information and a greener way to not waste paper. It's revolutionary!
