Words that taunt
By Elia Brown-Davis
Words that taunt
Me in my sleep wish I
Could erase them from my mind, All seems lost
In this world of hate
We wrap ourselves in
Everyday threatening each other
With words, to betray our friends
In an instant, wishing the
Hate in the school disappear into thin
Air, the hatred that has
Elevated into a dream
Of the devil, trying to see
Through the fog that has
Covered our minds
So we can't see the
Harm we cause others.
-- Elia Brown-Davis is a ninth grader at Southwest Junior High School.
Recipe
Surprise Salad
This nutritious, tasty salad includes fruits and vegetables. The easy recipe, which is from the Family Nutrition Program at Kansas State University Research and Extension, makes 10 1/2-cup servings:
1 apple
2 bananas
1/2 cup lemon juice
3 large carrots, grated or shredded (about 3 cups)
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup seedless raisins
1/2 cup lowfat salad dressing
Chop apple and slice bananas and put in a mixing bowl. Add lemon
juice to keep the fruit from turning brown.
Grate carrots into another mixing bowl and add sugar and raisins.
Remove apples and bananas from juice and mix with carrots.
Add salad dressing and blend; chill until serving time.
