My reaction to this quote is that Abraham Lincoln is referring to the ideal that once people have power they tend to abuse it for their advantage, and personal gain. For Example, gerrymandering. Gerrymandering is the manipulation of the county sizing and grouping in states by the Legislative branch to guarantee their reelection into federal or state offices. A typically Democratic city perhaps may be grouped or redrawn to conjoin with a vastly Republican populated area, creating a larger group of supporters of one party, and a polarized county.

I am just a year older than you, and I have dealt with all of the bullyings I can handle and more. One thing you can do is be apart of a group instead of putting yourself on your own where it is easier to get targeted. Talk to an adult if it keeps happening. Something I did was talk to everyone in each class (unless you are the same people all day) and evaluate who would be a good friend. If they come off as sweet but show malice to others, avoid them. Also, avoid people who come off as disrespectful to their elders. They will only end up being the one doing something wrong and pinning it on you. message me if you want to talk about any specifics because I can help with tons of situations. if you need someone to vent it to you can talk to me! ;)

Write an acrostic poem that describe the words “embark” and “profanity”.
sp2606 [1]

I felt the hot on my skin

Where is this place

End my thirst

Next stop

There, somewhere, anywhere

Oh, how my lungs cry

Need, I need water

And there is none!

Just leave me on my way

On foot I go

Under fallen branches

Running through the woods

Nearly losing a few shoes

Ever near the end

Yet, so far away

At last I find a place

Not quite empty

Dear, and precious liquid

Finding comfort at last

On this wretched trip

Understand my suffering

Never in my life

Did I feel like this

So alive, free

Out there in the world

Most definitely

Everything had turned out okay

Wonder with me

Over this imaginary place

Remember that it does not exist

Don't be fooled by how it looks

See, it is a mask of lies,

Did you feel safe here

In this new place

Remove all doubt

That in here

You will not be hurt,

Once upon a time

Before I knew better

Some of this felt real

Common to me

Even the lies meant something to me

Now I know

Everyone should know

All I need is for people to listen

Not later,

Do you hear me yet?

Really,

Even the madmen think I am crazy

View me as what you will

One day

Later within the future

Thank me, you will,

It's better to laugh

Nothing ever sounded so silly

Go and tell of my theories,

Because I wont,

Use your words wisely,

This is my warning to you

News spreads quickly

On the wings of you demonic angels

To every corner of the earth

Everything is told

Very few is secret

Each time the news is taken in

Not one, but me, believes it

When shall you learn

Of the realms of reality

Right now, never seems propable

There is so much you dont want to hear

How do you live this way

No more, you tire me,

Out of my head,

This debate

I cannot take

Now go, leave me to my thoughts

Give my rest, I did my best.
