Protest Poem

Gender inequality is really uncool,
Men and women are always compared.
All should be allowed to go to school,
The way one treats another is very unfair.

While women are often objectified,
Notice that it happens to all.
After years of women being considered less,
Not many notice the tables have turned on some.

Although women used to be treated as lesser than men,
Things have changes today.
But in some countries far from ours,
Some things stay the same.

A change is in order.
The time is now,
A change in the borders,
Our views on equality need to change just like time has changed our minds.

Philosophy Poem

Philosophy Poem

 

No man can be alone.

Although sometimes isolation can repair someone,

We are all connected.

Our actions and reactions affect others in the world.

 

We cannot exist by only making decisions for ourselves,

Our thoughts can affect others as well.

Our ideas affect the ways others think.

 

For when the bell tolls, it rings for us all to hear.

Ode to Ron Burgundy

Ode to Ron Burgundy

Man of legend,

Moustache of legend.

 

You have taken great strides in the world of news broadcasting.

With a voice that can make a kitten purr,

And salon quality hair.

A need for scotch and women.

You have raised sharks as your own,

And reached the number one ratings slot in San Diego.

You can talk to dogs, and women, without a flaw.

You’re one classy fellow,

And you wrote a hell of a book.

 

Your philosophy is that “Sometimes people don’t want the truth. They just want the news.”

This has allowed you to achieve fame.

With a tall glass of scotch and your fellow news team,

It’s that time again, to give people what they want – the news.

Parody of Sonnet XVIII by William Shakespeare by Ryan Schimpf

Parody of Sonnet XVIII by William Shakespeare by Ryan Schimpf

 

Shall I compare thee to Ron Burgundy?

Thou art more classy and more outstanding.

Critics do shake the esteem of the team,

And Ron’s voice hath a place in broadcasting.

Sometimes too bright the man of heaven race,

And often is his complexion outshone;

And every hair and hair always in place,

His tremendous work will never be done;

But his eternal sheen will never dim

Nor lose possession of that class thou ow’st;

Nor shall Death take the fame away from him,

When on T.V. his grandeur shall grow’th:

You are like him but he is much better,

That Ron Burgundy was a trend setter.

 

Ron [Relationship Poem] (notice this is a concrete poem in the shape of a bottle of scotch)

Ron

 

 

From the tree of life

A man fell like a fruit,

With a smokin’ hot wife

And a burgundy suit.

 

With salon quality hair

And a voluptuous moustache.

While none were aware,

He rose to fame in a flash.

 

At the peak of popularity in the broadcasting business,

He was fired from his job – that man is fearless.

He cussed on T.V. and moved to a Winnebago.

He was the best new anchor in all of San Diego.

 

At a revolutionary twenty four hour news station,

He arose to the top; he was a star of the nation!

With his newfangled fame he shone like a light,

And I said to him “Mr. Burgundy, you’re alright!”

 

Passion! (looking good and feeling fine)

     My passions have sculpted my ideas and outlooks in life. Passions are what have given me a destination in life. My passions are motivations; my motivations are educating myself and others, expressing ideas through art, and equality for all.

         

     Educating myself allows me to gain knowledge and understanding of different outlooks on life. Having a vast understanding of the world has opened my mind to to different outlooks on life. Helping others comprehend an idea - not changing their perspective - is my goal. To help another person open their eyes to different point of view is necessary to achieve full equality and understanding of everybody's theories. Wether it be their religion or their political views, all ideas are valid.

     Expressing ideas and knowledge through artistic outlets is important to me, as it is a relateable way to comprehend morals and ideas. Writing and drawing are two tools I use to sculpt ideas in the minds of others. An outlets is also important for stress relief and as a way to introduce and express not only idea, but your own views to others.

     Giving others an equal opportunity is important not only to everyone else, but also myself. I believe that having equality for myself is just as important as giving equality to others. Creating situations of equal opportunity is an important part of my life, as I enjoy spreading love and freedom.

     Although I have many motivations in my life, my main goal is to have everybody's eyes, hearts, and minds open to all ideas and viewpoints in the world. Agreeing that all outlooks are equal, fair, and important is my passion in life.
