Die folgenden Gedichte sind im Englischunterricht der Klasse 9a entstanden. Die Aufgabe war es, ein „Gegengedicht“ zu Paul Cooksons Gedicht „Let no one steal your dreams“ zu schreiben:
Let No One Steal Your Dreams by Paul Cookson
Let no one steal your dreams
Let no one tear apart
The burning of ambition
That fires the drive inside your heart.
Let no one steal your dreams
Let no one tell you that you can’t
Let no one hold you back
Let no one tell you that you won’t.
Set your sights and keep them fixed
Set your sights on high
Let no one steal your dreams
Your only limit is the sky.
Let no one steal your dreams
Follow your heart
Follow your soul
For only when you follow them
Will you feel truly whole.
Set your sights and keep them fixed
Set your sights on high
Let no one steal your dreams
Your only limit is the sky.
Stop Dreaming Hopeless Dreams by Sam Kumer
Stop dreaming hopeless dreams
Stop trying to follow them
You don´t know what frustration means
You won´t find a gem
You will never be able to fly
There´s no magic in this world
All that is only a lie
Dreams are a burning sword
If you find yourself dreaming,
take the dreams and lock them away
or you will fall down screaming
deep in a hole one day
everything is dark there
there is even a darkness in your heart
and you won´t get help from anywhere
and that tears you apart
so stop dreaming hopeless dreams
stop trying to follow them
you don´t know what frustration means
you won´t find a gem
Stop Dreaming Hopeless Dreams by Jan Heckenkamp
Stop dreaming hopeless dreams
Don´t set your sights too high
Don´t think you can touch the sky
Never listen to your Heart´s scream.
You can´t get really high
You can´t fly
Your unrealistic dreams won´t come true
No one will ever love you
Stop Dreaming Hopeless Dreams by Jo Hindersmann, Carina Koch, Tessa Rehme
Stop dreaming hopeless dreams
They are often too big for you
You will live on the streets
When you haven´t real things to do
Stop dreaming hopeless dreams
No fire is in your heart
You will never reach your goals
Everybody is telling you: “You can´t!”
Live here and now, not in fantasy
Just get up and live in the day
Don´t run after you dreams
They are not true anyway
Do you think life is fair?!
Fulfils your wishes, dreams or hopes?!
Think again! And then give them up -
You´ll never get what you want!
Just give them up, back to life, tear them apart
And delete the fire of greed in your heart
Stop Dreaming Hopeless Dreams by Max Temme-Winter
Stop dreaming hopeless dreams.
Stop dreaming hopeful dreams.
They won´t become true
Cause they´re only dreams.
The real life is real.
The dreams are fake.
If you stop dreaming,
You won´t make any mistake.
Waking up at night,
The dream wasn´t right.
So stop dreaming
because you waste much time.
