Idiom Poem: “War”
All bets are off
All hell broke loose
All’s fair in love and war

An act of god
An act of War
Against your better judgment

At a loss
At death’s door
At each other’s throats

Song Title Poem:
I think we’re alone now
(And) Time after time
(The) Sound of SIlence

Every breath you take
(A) Careless whisper
In the air tonight

Islands in the stream
Sweet Dreams,
Sweet Child O’ Mine

Under pressure
She Drives me crazy
Should I stay or should I go
Love is a battlefield

Slogan Poem:
This is Benjamin. He’s a little worried about his future.
On every street in every city, there’s a nobody who dreams of being a somebody
(and) He’s out to prove he’s got nothing to lose

A lot can happen in the middle of nowhere

One man’s struggle to take it easy

There is no gene for the human spirit
(But) All the power on earth can’t change destiny
