Luck

Luck , my friend is like a bar of gold. When I first read this poem by Langston Hughes I was very entertained as the poem was written in a different style, not the one you read that always rhymes or the one which has a basic meaning throughout the poem itself. The following poem is very enjoyable as it has reality not the future.

Sometimes a crumb falls
From the table of joy
Sometimes a bone
Is flung.

To some people
Love is given,
To others
Only heaven.
( Written in exact format and words of Langston Hughes)

Now I could analyze the poem , tell you the meaning of each sentence by picking out parts, and explain the real definition of each piece. Instead I'll tell you what Luck is. It is like a fairy tale that people really believe in (even myself). It is a man-made thing just like time. When you win the lottery out of 1,000 people for a few thousand dollars, it is chance (chance [chans, chahns] Show IPA noun, verb, chanced, chanc·ing, adjective:an opportune or favorable time; opportunity [ CREDIT TO DICTIONARY.COM]). I am not trying to make you hopeless with luck, but just showing a point. The thing with luck is is that if you do end up getting it, you can say that you just met a leprechaun that just slid off the rainbow. Luck also relies on karma... You do bad you get bad, you do good you get good. The good thing about luck is that when luck come is comes with heavy rewards. Like I said luck is a bar of gold.

The Power Of Change

CLICKChange is strong. It can beat a heavyweight champion. You know how? It is because change happens to be fast. If someone tries to hit change you'll end up missing because it is unpredictable. It may be just an idea not a living thing but it can do things to an unbelievable extent. Barry Bonds could still be playing baseball right now , but he isn't he changed his way of living and took up drugs. Walt Disney was also very incredible but he too changed to becoming a smoker. There are people that change from bad to good and people who change from good to bad. U.S.'s current president's idea was to change. He has shown us that change may not come easy , but it makes a big difference. Where ever you go, keep change in mind, it'll help you in any situation. Change comes only when you want it to, no matter the condition chne will be there and ready to follow you at any cost. Bravery+ Courage-Truth/Pain= CHANGE!
