Thankful...for a Classmate

This time, in spirit of Thanksgiving, I will be writing about something I am thankful for. In this case, I am writing about a classmate. A classmate I am thankful for... I guess that if I was to choose a classmate, I would choose someone from the small group we have over in the corner. That includes Jason, Gabe, Rivka, Brandon, and Ethan. They are all very helpful in class and outside of class. Helping me with other homework or assignments, help me in other classes, or help keep me up when I'm down (especially in the morning when I have to wake up sooooo early). They make me laugh or chuckle even at the smallest jokes, helping me get through the day. So, I guess those are some classmates I am thankful for: for helping me out when I need it and keeping me joyful too.

Principles to Keep (In the Sudden Case of an Apocalypse)

Which principles should we keep?
Not to steal, not to kill?
 Maybe even not become a cannibal?
I think the principles I would keep,
Includes no stealing, no killing,
No hurting others,
Or at least if they hurt me first.
I will try to put
Other before me.
After all, how can you live
If your loved ones aren't with you?
How could I live with myself
If I ate another human?
I just simply cannot, will not, should not.
Another principle I would keep.
I will try to keep
My principles all together.
After all,
They keep me together
And surround me like a shawl.
