Osmosis!

By John J. of District 19

You wanna fight crime in a skintight suit
You wanna stop time and detect the truth
You wanna ray gun, wanna turn to stone
You wanna be the one who saves the universe alone
You wanna be fast like Mercury
Travel to the past and fix history
You wanna jump buildings, you wanna bend bars
See into the future, and fly to Mars
Beyond the stars
Faster than time
So fast that nothing will ever stop you

You want control of everything
Better grab a lantern and a power ring
Invasion looms, advancing hordes
Shine your cosmic silver surfboard
Nazi nemesis on the attack
Throw the shield that always comes back
No matter what just keep on fighting
Raise your hammer and call the lightning
The master plan’s
A disaster man
Do what you can
To save every last woman, child and man

For this you need to find the key to everything
Be ready to follow the sirens when you hear them ring
You must let go of the thing that you hold closest
Steel yourself the secret is

You wanna be the one to disarm the bomb
You wanna be the one that they can all count on
You’ve seen the signs you know where we’re headin’
2012 means Armageddon
Sinister plot set into action
Clock is ticking, chain reaction
Shroud yourself in mystery
Protect your secret identity
Your family
From tyranny
It’s all just a giant conspiracy

For this you need to find the key to everything
Be ready to follow the sirens when you hear them ring
You must let go of the thing that you hold closest
Steel yourself the secret is

OSMOSIS!

    By Haley B. I didn’t know what marijuana was until I was in high school. When I learned about it, I was completely against it for many reasons. For one, it was illegal and I was as straight-laced as a 14-year-old could possibly be. Two, it sounded terrifying to lose control of yourself with a…
