A Moment of Genius (by my standards)

So I'm working on some World History homework, a project actually, about the Holocaust. I'm supposed to create a piece of art that signifies something during the time, write a description for it, and then write a poem or a song to it, too. We're watching Schindler's List for this assignment.
I do pretty well with just reading and taking notes, apparently so well that the teacher wondered why I wasn't in AP World History... (I'm just more focused on math and sciences... I WANNA BE A PEDIATRICIAN). But anyway, I don't know how well I'm going to do on this project, it counts as the test. I think I shall write a song instead of the poem, it gives me an excuse to bring Larry (my guitar) to school. Ha. I love bringing Larry to school.

Well anyway, I had already completed my piece of art. Honestly, it took me far too long to think of something.

If you couldn't tell (which means I probably am a terrible drawer) the image is of a candle with a wick that spells out "Hope" on it's side. Actually, it also looks like "Nope" so I think I'm going to make that mistake apply to the overall meaning... haha.
The burning candle of hope represents what the Jewish lived off of during that time. All they had left was hope that they wouldn't be shot for minor mistakes in their work in the camps, that they would see their families and loved ones again.
They keep burning off of hope, but there's an outside force that takes it away faster than how slowly they use it up.
The chaotic black flames represent Nazi domination of the Jewish, melting the candle a lot faster than if the candle were burning by itself. The pink color of the candle is dripping to the bottom of the candle, and what is left of the candle is charred black (well, at least it will be, I just thought of it now. >.<) to signify the scars that were left of the Jewish. The dripping color also represents what the Nazis took away from the Jewish: their families, identities, homes, and peace. All things that they once had that were stripped away from them. The color is "stripped away" from the candle (signified more with the charring that will be added. haha).
I think what I will say about "Nope" is that even though they burned off of hope, the overpowering source basically told them "no." They were not allowed to have any hope, and so the black flames take it down.  Even the plate the candle stands on is deformed in shape. The foundation of Jewish strength is also taken down by the black flames. (I made up a lot of this just now...)
What shall I title this piece?
-Burning Hope
-Candle of Hope
-No Hope
-Relinquished Hope
??????
I'm leaning more towards Burning Hope, because the Jewish burn off of it, and the Nazis burn it away. Makes sense, right?

Great. Now I shall write lyrics to this image and what it means. Hmmmm...

Let's have a chord progression going first...
Something along the lines of Am, Em, C, D... haha I use Em so much it's ridiculous. Then again, I don't know many other chords so...

Right. Back on task. Lyrics.

Verse 1
Am                               Em
So many things, taken away
Am                        Em                     C
I wonder if I'll ever see them again another day
D                                                       Am
All that I've lost, I've held close to my heart
D                                                            C               G
They've taken my love, my family, they're tearing us apart

Chorus:
Am                            C
What do I have to live on?
              D
They left nothing much.
C                     G
Everything's all gone.
Am                                 C
Tell me why I live on this slippery slope
      D                   C
It's all I'm burning off of,
       G             Am
This last bit of hope.

Verse 2
       Am                            Em
They take us down one by one,
       Am                                 Em                   C
And now we wonder, what it was we've truly done
          D                                                  Am
To deserve such hostility that fuels up our fear
D                               C                     G
Attacking us, have we counted up our tears?


I'VE NEVER COME UP WITH SOMETHING SO QUICKLY. It's only been 45 minutes.
I think I shall call it, This Last Bit of Hope

Look, I recorded it, too.

What a gross thumbnail.
If only I knew more chords. *Sigh*
But I like what I came up with.

OH. I did make it into the talent show I auditioned for. I'll be performing another original, not completely by me. I have a friend. His name is Tyler. He likes to write lyrics. So he writes some for me, and I put music to it (to the best of my ability. I swear, I just ruin his lyrics. But he insists nonetheless.). I GET TO BRING LARRY TO SCHOOL ALL WEEK. YESSSS.

When I talk, my voice sounds like I've been smoking all of my life. That's because I did a lot of yelling and cheering today. It just doesn't sound that way when I'm singing. I'm laughing at myself right now because I sound funny.

I am monkey, here me cackle. *cackles*

I think my creativity juices ran out. Time to make some dinnerrrrr
