Some more poems to unlock the self. We are approaching our final countdown, that is the moment when you will be performing your slam poems, folks! Yes! Do you remember the initial videos we watched? Well, you cannot back up now, and even if you tried, I won’t let you do it! (tongue-in-cheek remark!)
Let’s proceed with our "LIST POEMS":

What bugs me
When my students do not listen to me and I feel disempowered. I feel deprived of my passion: teaching.
When colleagues speak behind my back. I feel slendered. I feel denied as a human beings.
When my headmasater does not leave room for free expression of thought.
When I am not taken into consideration.
When I am standing in a queue and somebody skips it.
When I am in a hurry and there is a slow driver in front of me.
When people litter.
When people do not ricycle or dump their rubbish anywhere.
When my friends forget about my birthday.
When people swear or youngsters utter the word C—O.
When people show off or feel superior to others.
When there is indifference towards those who suffer.
When there is no justice before blatant injustice.
When those in power do not do anything to change things or they fake taking action.
When students bully.
When parents deny the obvious about their kids.
My mom is overprotective towards my brother
My mom is always making comments on people’s looks
My mom makes me laugh with her bizzarre remarks
My father was pretty moody
My father did not allow me to take friends home
My father made me work hard
My best friend makes me ponder on things and makes me look inside myself
My best friend means a lot to me
My best friend is a reassuring presence in my life
My neighbourhood bully is always blasting music, day and night
My neighbourhood bully is always littering
My neighbourhood bully is pretty lonely
My dog will be wagging his tail when I am back from school
My dog will come jogging with me
My dog is on his way
My hamster is running round its wheel
My hamster is fluffy and funny
My hamster gets along well with my dog
My Italian teacher knows a lot, but shares very little
My Italian teacher is dissatisfied with his job
My Italian teacher is racing in his grey 500
My sister is supportive and caring
My sister is beaming
My sister helps me through steep paths and dark ways
My brother teaches me how to succeed with men
My brother shows me the way
My brother shows me the horizon
