Class 10S/Hi_M War Poem Johnnie, get your gun, Fix your gun, We’re heading to the land of kings and Kaisers to save a fire called freedom Although William has lost an eye and one arm by Huns, We advance towards the enemy. Left and right friends and companions fall They go out in a snap The ones who get out will never be the same Scarred for life the things we’ve felt. How thin and sharp the knives are How big and large the tanks are It’s all the weapons in the war. Menacing canons inched closer and closer Sluggishly, intimidatingly, Trampling what laid beyond Towering above a man’s head. Ear-splitting sound smashed into us Machine rattles Resounding noise make soldiers hopeless and shudder Silently but heavily Deafening sound, Overwhelmed and dismantled us Piercing of sound engulf us all Coldly and eerily Sound of the guns flying from all directions Heartbeat that is only heard after my fall
Sound fades with my consciousness. Boom! Boom! Boom! The sound of war equals The sound of death. You can hear the sound of the guns passing through soldiers’ bodies You can hear the sound of arrows hitting soldiers’ skin. You can hear soldiers screaming in pain Everyone wants to stop the fight But it goes forever and ever… The sea of yellow evil silently arrived No one had noticed, not even a fly. Gas! Vapour! As soldiers fell on their knees It’s a nightmare, or a never-ending disease. A small fleeting voice tries to warn me, of my nightmares that have just begun. Gas stalked across the trench Followed by blood gargling from froth filled lungs Fear of dark grey clouds loomed over Soldiers with trench foot caught in the sharp cold metal of barbed wire Shell holes littered the horizon. My fear becomes heightened I’m scared every day My death becomes certain I can’t run away At Flanders field, I sweat The rusty, brown guns flashing shiny bullets towards me Under the Trenches, I bleed Red, shiny blood spurting and when I look up the sky I see only the grey foggy sky and man-made birds throwing up black shadows The fears swallow me as it structed my body And I think about what is left for me, what I should do Picking up the rusty cold gun I repeat the word The true will is never defeated. I’m living like today is the last day of my life As Flanders field a green sprout grew in the middle emitting azure bloom At Flanders field the green sprout was crushed down the evening of the twilight.
Inevitable war zone My teeth, hands legs shivering Booms everywhere nowhere to hide That Last war furious of fear One day the war will cease, All will sing with harmony, With our loved ones all in peace, We’ll bring home the victory. In Flanders Fields. Death blooms, Like a flower in the dawn The cries of the rattlesnakes Causing countless valiant soldiers To drop; Like the leaves That inevitably fall, And the snow That fills the fields. The birds chirping lively in the harsh wind, Probably means there’s peace in the disarray, The rise of the stars in the pitch dark sea, Probably means there’s light in the dark. One day soon, the war will end, We’ll grab all the booze that we contend, Our country would be in peace, And the great war will ever cease. Like the lifeless decoration on a tree A Halabong tree stood solitary When it was perfectly ripe one fell then another into the wild Crushed by the soldier passing by The warmth of my hands. The lights in my eyes The blazing smile And the wave of iron rain When a fire dies, only ashes remain.
Class 10R/ Hi B War Poem Downpour of periwinkle and silver Black and white coexist in the twilight Gusts of fumes freeze shadows And ill-lit calamity resumes One’s grumbling, one’s crumbling One’s shooting, one’s screeching I wish one’s despair becomes wisdom When one’s screeching comes as silence; Roars of firearms and trumpets blowing Swish as the bullets cut through the sky Fathomless wail from those bottomless trenches, breaking into my holy grail of tranquillity Sounds like the end of the Earth, Feels like everything is getting destroyed Sounds like small planes flying around me, And I can hear screaming fading There lies shadows of life once lived In the middle of chaos Hesitant to reach up high I wander around for light. A world with no end in sight Perilous and squandered might Reveries of a miraculous firmament All gold is but a fool’s gold Where we shower with lotus seeds When the Roscoes went silent Machine guns rattle, Comrades fly, sprint, fall Sounds of rain, stampede, and thunder Lines made of copper, carrying messages Voices far away tell fatigue and sorrow Rings around and become an echo
Machine guns spitting toxic pellets Tanks approaching with boisterous noise Grenades shouting inaudible languests Gas, I can still hear their voice A huff sends one to where he came from Burns mouth, nose and eyes Burning, but moist Iron boats sliding under, Crashing, colliding But waiting for, blindly Remember only this of us We’re a pawn on the chessboard with feelings An insect’s night is brighter and beautiful than any other night The insect fly towards the flame of fire The fire is dangerous yet attractive in its sound and appearance It flames red and has a hot popping sound It’s a way for the insect to prove himself His braveness and masculinity needs evidence This makes the insect curious and impatient to go towards the fire The fire is full of fear, but it can’t stop the insect from going into the light The fragile bug dies in a short second as it enters the fire It is marvellous, yet in jeopardy The insect passes away without much to do Its journey is done and so is the life. During the time of noise and explosion, the man couldn’t go blind out There were his peers falling down, without any reaction: He couldn’t step forward He wanted to stop, but there was no way to escape. Wherever I stepped on the battlefield was pulpy, As the whole layer of soil was from the dead men I covered myself on the flesh of these men Just so I don’t end up just like one of them
Joy Siwon Hwang
As I lied down and wetting tears, All I saw was lying bodies of my fellow mates, My mates I’ve known for so long back in war Ended up falling down to the trench ground
Shot through bullets just like bowling pins fall I could hear them suffocating to death Looking for their mums till very end A man was sitting alone in a cage, his body is cold and wet Beside him, he could see his friends, his companions, locked in other cages The cages are floating on the ocean His cage slowly and steadily descended, he shivered. but did not say a word Muzzle flashes from the trenches Machine gun bullets rain from the sky Blood splatters everywhere As they shattered into pieces I was shattered too Every day my ears ring with guns and screams. I got shot and I can’t even stand up straight. I can’t fight but watch my friends die and suffer. This pain of mine tells me that I would rather fight. The clamour stalk the land Pigeons whirl through the wind Red flowers bloom on the road But the dead men tell no tales For the Hod, For the Netzach, For the Geburah, Those who unintentionally became the Golachabs are becoming Thagirions Was it because the spear penetrates their bodies Or is it because they yearn for the time when they were enjoying at the Tree Perhaps it won’t happen The last wish before tragedy encounters Millions of hearts getting filthy One more, just one more to be pure.

校友故事
Taejoon Kim 感谢2019届校友Taejoon Kim—目前就读康奈尔大学,他代表NLCS济州参加一场特 别的高尔夫锦标赛。他说— “在9月14日, Thomas Park和我代表NLCS济州参加了<OK 금융그룹배 럭비 고교동창 노사이드 채리티 매치>。这是一场高尔夫友谊锦标赛,该赛事由韩国橄榄球联盟 (KRU)主板,橄榄球队毕业的高中生可以参加比赛。参与本身就保证了对NLCS济 州橄榄球队的捐款,所以我们对这个机会倍感兴奋。 高尔夫球场的环境配上完美的天气,这绝对是美好的一天。最重要的是,我们体 会到对NLCS济州的热爱。2019年毕业后,我们能够回馈学校和学生的机会很少。 在我们准备和参与这次活动时,我们想起了在NLCS济州的美好时光,认识到这是 一个回馈学校的机会,因此大家的动力非常大。我们非常感谢KUR主办的这次极佳 的活动。
“再看这个经历,我们认识到NLCS济州将在我们心中一直占有特殊的位置。” NLCS济州校友们为什么不分享你们的故事呢?我们希望听到你的消息!
Thomas Park
校友故事 (2) 我们很高兴收到来自最新校友之一2021届Helen Joung的消息。Helen曾是我们的 女学生会主席,在学校为学生们树立了很好的榜样。她告诉我们过去几个月发 生的事情。 “正如所有的第六学段学生同意的那样,自从IB开始,我们都没有很多时间留 给自己。尽管一开始找事情做有点迷茫,但我能够以一种轻松而愉快的方式让 自己忙碌起来。我一直专注于成为瑜伽人士,我可以做一个完美倒立了。每个 周末,我都在韩国各地爬山,阅读书籍,看一些有趣且打开眼界的纪录片,我 在学习DALF,这样我就不会把法语全忘了。
另外,我正在准备到UCL读书。阅读与我的专业建筑学相关的书籍,学习设计软 件和参加一些设计比赛,预注册大学和参加在线培训,发起一个关于宗教建筑 的小型研究项目并研究一些在韩国的具体建筑。 我已经开始想念在NLCS济州的所有人和那些特别的会议,特别是校队培训,在 Halla有压力但愉快的午夜自修,没有午餐但充满会议的课间休息。然而,我对 在大学学习感到信心十足和兴奋,我在NLCS济州的这几年已经帮我准备好了迎 接挑战的心态。IB组织技能让我为大学做好了准备。” 我们祝愿Helen的下一篇章好运。她正在追随她的热情迈向下一个旅程。她真正 体现了“从这里开始,走向辉煌。”
