Pyramid
Success if always sweet
But the route to it is as bitter as can be
Have you ever noticed
in the pyramidal society these days
the bottom is always crowned
while the top is always lonely
But once you are at the top,
you seem to forget
those who have assisted us throught our hard times
who are now hollering behind us
fighting each other to get to a higher place
Oh, the cursed realistic cycle
of combatting for fame and superiorly!
-Cindy Zhu, UHill
Scrambled Day in the Dark
One unfortunate morning
I woke in pitch black
I took a peek at my alarm clock
And found it turned off from its usual quack
So I hazily grabbed my watch
And my fatigue instantly flew in a boom
As the numbers reflected in my eyes
Appears to be 10 minutes before doom
I screamed and jumped out of bed
And raced upstairs to get dressed
I reached out of turn on the light
But none of them came on bright
