What is the Stantonian Association of Interesting People?

My friends, this blog is dedicated to those men and women who go out of their way to be remarkably interesting. In other words, all of those fascinating Stanton students (or, in the rarest of cases, students from other schools) can join this blog to appreciate creative writing developed by us students. I, Braden Beaudreau, the creator of this blog, will post my past, present, and future works on this website, and those who join and comment will get the same opportunities. May all of you live in happiness and peace, and never forget: being interesting is the only way to stand out from the masses.

A Patient, Parting Protest

"He speaks his mind like
Any determined man,
Says 'I've got the solution,
I've got a plan.'

And we're eager to hear
His brilliant conclusion,
For as the world is now we
Must clarify our confusion.

He says 'follow me and
I'll lead you to glory',
Ah yes he can, he
Shall tell his story.

No longer is he our companion
But now our uncontested king,
Escalated to the height of
What his promises bring.

He has saved us from
Our sure destruction,
Quickly, lets proceed with
His glorious induction.

How dare you contest
His sure-handed advice,
Bow down to him now
Or pay the ultimate price!

See, there is nothing to
Fear with him at the rein,
Oh that? That I do not
Have to explain.

Oh, you've lost those close to you
Since he has made his diplomatic pact?
Well that's a small price to pay,
The time is now and you must act.

Forget the past, He is present.
Forget your life, for it is His.
Forget god, praise Him instead.

Victory shall be ours and
He shall lead us there,
Forget the others and
Their inferior despair.

You must put your protests
To a hurried end.
No? Well then I suppose
I'll not see you again."

And the protester lived on
Past crisis and depression.
He did not attend the
Other's funeral procession.

  1. Stalin? Hitler? Hypothetical?...
    If I'm reading right there are two speakers? Nice.

  2. "See, there is nothing to

    Love that stanza! This is great, and since I know the subject, I won't reveal it until someone else gets it. I like the way you conveyed the message.

  3. Though I am ignorant of the subject, I do enjoy the poem. In fact, I am very curious as to what the subject (or perhaps who) is.
