     Over That Quiet Town      by Malik Padellan

The wave currents in the sky
swirl on top another,
whirlpools of color
over that quiet town

Stars pokadot the night,
beaming light in every direction
scaring away darkness
over that quiet town

The moon, hooked like a claw
shines the brightest
melting in the sky
over that quiet town

For the town is not just silence,
but joy and happiness.
Although it is not with the sky,
from an angle, grass pulls on stars

Perfection

     I have recently finished watching the movie Tron Legacy, and though I gave it a 7 out of 10, I couldn't stop thinking about the concept and the morale of the movie. Its about a boy who's father worked in a big game production and one game, Tron, he went beyond of just making prodigious components of the game and was actually able to develop the grid, which was where the game Tron took place. The reason he made the grid was because of all imperfections reallity has. What he wanted to do was make a world with no imperfections, a perfect world, but with huge wants comes huge consequences and the world ends up being "perfect" in the wrong eyes. What is perfection? Is it even possible to be perfect?
     My mom always tells me nobodys perfect, and even though I know this, its hard to tell what others think about the word perfect. When you see those conceded people just stepping over everyone, they probably think themselves as perfect and people who inhance their looks so that one day they will reach perfection because they think that beauty is all that matters to be a good person. I think that its impossible to be perfect( to have been in the past, to be in the present, or will be in the future). You can find many reasons of why someones imperfect by observing there opinions on things, their perspectives, and even just having a conversation. Though someone can argue with my belief because its impossible to know if someones perfect or not because it can be good in Jane's eyes, while its bad in Bob's, and though some might say that they're perfect in their own eyes because they do whats right to them, its hard to know whats the right and wrong things in this world because of all the different cultures and beliefs. I don't know if what I do is good because I'm christian, so I do what the christian religion sees as good.
     Perfect- flawless, unblemished. Its impossible to reach perfection with such an opinionized and judgemental world. I'm trying to give a message to you like do what you think is right and you may be close to perfect, but that might not work well with some people.
