2011
Since 2011 the Afghan war went on
Many people died, some cried, man that was long
Obama said, “STOP!” its time to get them out of there
By 2012 all of the troops will be elsewhere
Many people died, some cried, man that was long
Obama said, “STOP!” its time to get them out of there
By 2012 all of the troops will be elsewhere
We all know about the day of 9/11
Devastation and corruption struck that’s what happened
Now today we have a memorial it’s opened to the public
People go and pay respect, it’s a very touchy subject
Devastation and corruption struck that’s what happened
Now today we have a memorial it’s opened to the public
People go and pay respect, it’s a very touchy subject
We headin to the big J-A-P-A-N
We know about he earthquake that had happened
Disaster had struck and many families gone
Now their recovered will it last long
We know about he earthquake that had happened
Disaster had struck and many families gone
Now their recovered will it last long
We all know about horrible Irene
It was really a devastating scene
It went down on the east coast
Its true to believe but its not fair though
It was really a devastating scene
It went down on the east coast
Its true to believe but its not fair though

After reading and analyzing this poem, I believe it will win the contest. It's very well written and the idea of 2011 is greatly captured. It's not about celebrity issues that Americans thrive on. It's about worldy issues that people that lived during this time will always remember. What's written in this poem/rap is newsworthy information that hundreds of years from now, people will care to know about-as it's apart of the history of the world. I read several other raps/poems and though they were well written, they had several things that revolved around celebrities and such - things that really won't matter in the fuure. So, in my opinion, this is the best poem/rap that describes 2011 in an appropriate, easy-to-read, short, but entertaining and informational manor.
