Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: War: 21 of 494

Hopscotch in the schoolyard, We squabbled over it all, A punch was thrown here and there, I'd push you, you'd fall. We were told that fighting is wrong, "Violence isn't the answer, you know. Shake hands, hug it out, Just let the argument go." Why hurt each other until we bleed? Why let the tears be shed? They say we can sort...

Smiling, Antonia accepted the glass of champagne. She had gotten good at that; smiling. It was a strange thing to be good at, but she had often found it taxing when she started out in the business. Smiling to the camera, smiling to the fans, it had been so difficult. Especially when she was constantly thinking about the past...

Guilt It was time to face the consequences of his actions. "There was nothing you could have done, Danny." His aunt's words swirled around in his head, but they didn't sink in.

Changes Darkness. It's what I've been living in. The Government issued a statement claiming we couldn't use electricity anymore, and since then I've become like a bat, only relying on my other senses to get me through. My mum explained the whole "After the sun goes down we have to live in complete darkness" thing and she mad...

"Shared Blood" Angela's story I have to say, I'm an honest kind of girl. Not like her. I like to be upfront about my past, I don't lull people into a false sense of security, pretending everything is OK when it isn't. Normally, they aren't too disgusted, they don't announce that they never want to see me again, or anything l...

So you've replaced the cheap cider With a bottle of posh champagne, But does it have the same effect, Does it still make you go insane? And the parties you go to now I heard are classier than they once were. Yet you'll still wake up the next morning, With everything a drunken blur. You try to forget and move on, From the guy...

Sciences > Surgery Should smokers and the obese be denied coronary artery bypass surgery?: 8 of 35

Has our world really come to this? Are we seriously discussing who should get medical treatment and who shouldn't? It is a right as a human to be able to obtain medical help, or at least it should be; we all have the right to live, after all. So how do medical institutions believe they have the right to take this right away ...
