Description

"Words make gateways to infinite and wonderful worlds."
The podcast is the result of a 7th-grade poetry project made by students from Gimnasio Fontana in Bogotá, Colombia. The students have been studying and applying figurative language, symbolism, uniform features, and poetry structures throughout the bimester. For the project, students analyzed the symbolic meanings for the uniform of their choice: "service", "authoritarian", or "sport". Then, they had to write a poem about this uniform.

We have recorded the final results and published them here. We hope you enjoy the podcast!

A Soccer´s T-Shirt

A Soccer´s T-Shirt

2021-04-0801:55

Real Madrid is the best team ever I will say for sure, although several soccer teams have existed all over the world, not a single soccer sentiment feels like the one you get when you push your team so they feel treasured. Either you can call it just clothing or whatever you want, but a team’s uniform goes way beyond that, it is your t-shirt connecting to your deep heart, and dancing with your emotions at the time you’re signing the anthem-like art. A t-shirt can be Either white as a plain paper sheet, Or blue as a shining sky, Each team is represented by a different color tone, I am so related, that my blood color will be the same until I am gone. Like some people say about their beloved team they will die or do anything for it, I rather seat tranquil Just to enjoy a good match while just focusing on it. Memorizing what someone ever said “In variety is pleasure”, and I could not agree more, We can have a bunch of soccer team, colors, and feelings, and appreciate and learn from them all, not judging anyone and respecting each other more.

Unique suit used by a hero Symbol of courage as the great eagle and fear zero More stars than in the sky Infinite courage, he must-have during the fight, no matter why Lose or win, a whole country will give you support Immense love they will show when you arrive at the port To everyone who dresses with pride his uniform A great nation will honor you, even in the major storm Red, white and blue, the colors of the flag over the shoulder You have to defend the name of millions because you are a soldier Under the sea, in the land, or above the clouds Nothing will stop a warrior, not even millions of crowds Imagine a peaceful world built over the tears of believers Fights will be no more and of course no deceivers One uniform means effort, proud and passion Remember to respect your nation Mothers and fathers have raised their children, many to use the US military uniform, to be honored and remembered as great heroes.

Queen, I swear to protect you like a pirate protects his treasure (metaphor) Using my red uniform neither a rose petal will touch you without passing through me (hyperbole, idiom) Early in a cold winter morning, I would be the strongest wall to protect my wise monarch (personification, imagery) Easy? No, it’s hard as hell but my loyalty is stronger enough to betray my kingdom (metaphor, antithesis) No job brings me as much honor as representing your honorable crown. (symbolism, simile) Solitary and freezing darkness of the night won’t be a problem thanks to my boiling jacket (imagery, hyperbole) Guard and serve you leave my spirit with a feeling of peace (proverb) Unique is seeing your gems with a red wine color and brightness stronger than the sunlight (metaphor, hyperbole) A kid dream that was impossible became possible; my fantasy is now my daily routine (oxymoron) Raising your empires flag makes me happy like when I’m with my family (assonance, simile) During work turns seeing the palace indestructible walls leaves me a feeling of strength (hyperbole, imagery)
Some times it is not just about what’s outside Some times we just say things without thinking twice Some times we think we are judges Some times we have so many stereotypes The fabric is extremely soft The shape especially made They can do all their turns and moves They can make the players feel ready to begin That blue and yellow shining The colors look just like the sky, in a sunny day without clouds The boys in the back smiling They all are a fun group of kids But their smile is just like a mask That covers the pain they have deep in their hearts And no one gets to ask What’s happening when the game starts The game seems to last just one second But the tension while playing and seeing the game seem to last forever They all want to win and have the best weekend Maybe the best ever for them and the school they are leading

The team that gave it their all, in their red uniform, knowing what he was doing, almost at the end of the league  Led by his coach who in his young years also hit the ball Sweating that shirt for which they fought so much, that would give them the guaranteed victory Many people shouting with those colors, it would give them the satisfaction of their coach who had placed orders

Such as a perfect juicy apple tree. (Imagery) Perfect organization of colors, it is awfully beautiful. (Oxymoron) Ordinary use and all the world disagree. (Hyperbole) Red just as a cherry and as Elmo the Joyful (Simile) Time is gold in the field (Metaphor) It is a pretty Shirt, pretty uniform, pretty colors, and pretty differences. (Anaphora) Very passionate fans screaming hooray like the Soviet troops on the battlefield (Onomatopoeia) Earth can agree that this shirt is very cool I can give it a kiss (Alliteration)

He was my hero   He taught me things to keep me safe From danger, never making me feel unsafe He showed me to do my best And I can´t stop being blessed The first day when I used that fluffy uniform my soul grew happy Not many remind us, not many care  Every time our duty calls, we could even go to rescue bears I put my life at risk But at the end of the day I remember that we pledged  For freedom and justice for all We are known as the ones who rescue cats Who wear big red hats My Maltese cross is a reminder that I lay down my life for your safety In honor of those who sacrificed themselves for us  The sound of the siren alerts all my anatomy, Wee-woo, woe-woo  The sensation of my nerves rising every bone in my spine  Through the smoke the bright stripe They guide me towards the light.   The deadly fire behind me, Waiting for us to play  I do not have the need of fear The heat trying to invade my shield to get inside my skin really trying to break-in It makes me feel warm As hugs from a mother on a cold night.   So when I extend my gentle hand Take it, and I will take you to your homeland.

It’s Sunday afternoon. The sun is on the horizon. People on the streets with flags and t-shirts. The stadium is empty but, soon, thousands of voices will sing as one voice. The court is so green and so beautiful like a farm in spring. the court excitedly waiting to hear that goool! Defeat doesn't go through our minds, we live for football and victory. Our players are never alone. We, the fans will always accompany them. Years go by, but this feeling will remain. This feeling is priceless and our team knows it. We always want to win and become champions too. Soccer is what makes us live Soccer is what makes us give Soccer is the start of it all Soccer is way better than the mall all dying of excitement to win even those who we did not think would arrive.

We watched as you killed Dilan Cruz We watched as you killed Javier Ordóñez We watched as you killed 16 civilians in Bogotá. Sure, you claim there are just a few bad apples, But A SINGLE ONE could spoil the whole bunch. We watched as you pushed the people to agree with you. We watch your black uniforms of death. As soon as we see you we are afraid. We watch you and your forces of darkness repress. We heard the banging bullets all around Colombia. We know that you are not here to protect and serve, But to add a little touch of repression. Isn’t it ironic how you claim to protect and serve, even though the only thing you protect is wealth and the state? You are as greedy as snakes. You turn the lifely color green into a deadly mix of oppression and censorship. You turn a fight for justice into blood and tears. You are pawns of the state, you are not who you think you are. Why the protective gear, if you are the ones who shoot first? You turn debates into wars. You turn protests into bloodbaths. You flip your jacket. You cover your badge. You become the slave of your uniform and your beloved institution. Doesn’t matter if you witness a crime if you don’t witness the rot inside of your institution. Thanks to you, Fighting for justice in Colombia is a death sentence. Wanting real peace is a death sentence. We watch, we heard, we now know The lies you’ve told everyone. We know about the countless innocents you killed. There is a big question. It isn't “What can we do about it?” It is “What CAN’T we do about it” “From a slave patrol, to a police force”

My helmet blinds my thoughts and makes me obey the orders that put my integrity at risk, Green and rough is my Helmet and it’s as heavy as the conscience I deal with, between My chest my military plate is so people identify me, I’ve seen unseen, seen What will traumatize me for thousands and thousands of years, non-stop machines Roll In the fields, my shirt has the flag of my country and with honor I wear it, The shirt represents my loyalty to the country, and the protection that it transmits. my gun as cold as the weather, loaded and heavy, all I can think is about the gun with the hunger of killing, it protects mi foot and are large and are made of leather, stunned and amazed I am for the things I’ve seen, my future generations will be safe and love their country y grew with, and not live in a country in war, corruption, and blood.
A strong slashing sword hits in the fight, as the wind passes by. Attacking red as blood, black as death, while the enemy takes his last breath. Enemy’s attacks, strong as steel, while the leather armor doesn’t even feel. Warriors of honor and victory, their training life has a lot of history. People of passive words, but aggressive in war, but their feelings are grey as fog. Person of light-dark leather, and weakening strong metal, they would murder, only for honor. Humans of martial arts, stealthy as a cat, would do anything, for the country of the rising red round sun. Protected by their “Kabuto” and “Do”, and because of this, in battle, they win without a wound. And if they lose, they have no choice, instead of committing “seppuku”. Armors of vast small leather scale garment. With spiky shape, and flawless fabric, the “tetsu” is too strong, that’s why the fighter is harmless. The armor has too much history, part still a mystery, and that makes it more interesting. A very threatening appearance, but curious too, he could slash you, in the blink of my eye.
White as snow So clean that it glows Never leave your patient alone, even when they’re gone This uniform shows what the nurses carry on Day by day, never getaway There when you survive also when you die Each symbol, depending on the place, but it represents what we fight every day Every day, someone dies Every day, someone survives Every day is a new day which means they all need to fight until the end No matter what, no matter how the nurses are your friend So comfortable such as heaven This uniform is the one that cures Evan Who is Evan? Even the one that survives each treatment This patient is the one, the one that wants to live, the one that survives don’t be a stick in the mud, he said In the past, because he is puff* dead The one died, the one that survives had a happy life In all this the nurses uniform was part of it, and we are thankful for each arrive
