The Struggle of these Journeys
Victoria Shanghai Academy, Li, Hayden - 8
One journey can have brights with dreams,
Go forward with wide eyes.
And happy faces looking on,
Way beyond the skies.
But journeys rarely go as planned,
They very often fade away.
For mountains, rivers, seas and bays,
Will make the journey grow more land.
They go through dark and windy paths,
See the cati on the road.
Blocking all the roads nearby,
Cracking China’s secret codes.
Walking on and on,
Finding traps and tricks.
They have fights and battles,
With swords and fists.
The struggle of journeys is hard,
Through mountains and rivers more and more.
Blocking their roads step by step,
Finding the spells one by one.
It was harder and harder day by day,
With the great wall blocking their way.
Marching through the deepest roads,
Finding the traps of China.
The sitting mountain started to stand,
And the cati started to rise.
The towers began to send their spies,
To find the next god to rise.
The Buddha tried its power,
But started to lose it one by one.
The guards protect the tower,
With all the strength they had
‘Sun Wukong’ got the power,
And end the desire.
Having the team win the day,
Finally with bright eyes and dreams.
