Trust Me

Based on the article written by Nury Vittachi

"It's hard to get people to believe in you"

Students were asked to write a poem (minimum of 4 lines) about trust, lies, revenge, and forgiveness

Greedy Heart

Money is always not enough
prices keep going up
People's salaries are not high enough
Only the governors' pockets are filled up
I wonder what color a greedy heart is
I'm guessing 'black' it is
I wonder why these things happen
The answer needs to come out in the open
I wonder when all these will end
Just pray
The truth will be revealed in the end

White Lies

Though sometimes it tastes as sweet as a can of sugar
Looks gorgeous as an African cougar
Feels romantic as an evening star
But as midnight lingers
A warning sign is triggered
Its meaning hidden
Its blade sharpened
Just like a sparkling dagger
Puts you in an elusive danger


Pauline Chen

Despise

Tired of listening to those excuses all the time
So don't give me those words refined
Those stories I won't buy
To all the lies you hide
So blow a kiss- goodbye


Vivian

Praise to God

God, I am thankful for your kindness
You've always comforted my sadness
I praise you for your generosity
I will always remember your mercy


Jenny Hung

Compliments for a Lover

Your smile is like a wind blowing in the spring
Your eyes look like a golden ring
But the best compliment I have ever known
is that 'you are the I want to own'

Vicky Wang

Chance

Chance is a key to anywhere
No one knows what will happen there
We should gather our power
Do our best to make it better
