Future Adventures of the Greater Bay Area
French International School, Punyakoti, Namish - 11
There is a place that no one knows
There is a place that no one goes
Deep in the waters far beyond the walls
This is a new place with lands so tall
Mountains are tall, oh so tall
Up there kids play with a ball
There is a canyon wide and deep
Every night the children see it before going to sleep
There are forests full of ever greens
There are meadows filled with beans
Untouched by man
Perfection in every grain of sand
But even though the secrets have been buried, rumors leak out
Stories are born, the ones that make children pout
But when this fairytale comes true all the adults shout
The rumor is out and it is true
Now run for your life or the monster will bury you…
“A hydra” they say “A dragon” they chant
But soon the rant will be up
And it will be time run
So shut your doors and windows and listen to how this story begun
Time is of the essence a famous saying
But when this is true like now you will be praying
Stuck in an island where no man can leave
Eternally feeling grieve.
But there is a fact in this book
That can save the people if you look
Deep in the dungeons, Far past the sewer
A place with a stench worse than manure
A monster lies in wait
While people are feeling great
Discluded, excluded and sitting in the shadows
Ran away with the bad O’s
Rejected for his looks
And that’s when the ground shook
Out came the crystal
One touch and it went ballistic till
It touched the victim
It gave him more strength than a serum
He would throw huts with a flick of his finger
Stop projectiles midair when he heard the ringer
He never die
Although he couldn't fly
He was Invincible
Like a principle
