The War

By Ramya Kumar, Vivian Lim, and Stephen Dong

 

They had no intentions of having a fair fight

and they even tried to instill us with what they called fright

But their actions only served to ignite

the fire that was my might

 

Their attempt was adorable 

but just so deplorable,

like watching a man try so hard to cheat

only to find himself so badly beat

 

I did it for the people I care so much for

Not for the those who are rotten to the core

But even after losing, they still want a war

I decided that I had to protect those I adore

 

But my friends and allies told me I wasn't alone

For they would join me in the combat zone

where the righteous would stand tall

and the sinful would fall

 

The "popular" crowd think nothing of us

they think that there should be nothing to discuss

They think they deserve to to win

Maybe someone should poke them with a pin

 

To wake them up from their dream

where they live happily with ice cream

These people are not a good fit

but they are too prideful to admit it

 

Popular and qualified are two different traits

each with a gate leading to two different fates

They would say popularity is more essential

just because they think they don’t have hidden potential

 

People aren't perfect, that I agree

But stop trying to be what others want to see

Popularity means nothing if your friends are all fake

So don't make that mistake

for your future is at stake

And it’d be horrible to see it crumble and break.
