Swallows

2
by Ida Wiesenfeld

At the crack of dawn,
In the cloudless sky,
Gulps of swallows perched on silver firs,
Sing blithely to the wakening sun.

When the sun bleeds its velvet wounds,
Tainting the sky in crimson hues,
Flocks of darkly plumaged swallows,
Graze the sunlit waters, fringing it with shadows.

When the sky is shrouded by an ebony cloak of stars,
And the moon hangs at a perfect crescent,
The swallows come aloft,
Silent and obscured by the unfurling twilight.

Their wingtips brushes past the moon,
Their wings no longer black, are now tasseled with moonlight.

Thirteen Year Old Dreams

1
by Edward Hare

In trenches deep, where soldiers tread,
Thirteen-year-old dreams lie buried, dead.
A world ablaze, with battles fought,
Innocence fades, lessons hard-taught.

Muddy boots and skies of gray,
Boys not yet grown, sent far away.
Friends-turned-comrades, side by side,
Longing for homes they can’t abide.

Letters penned with trembling hand,
Hoping for peace in a distant land.
But cries of war, they drown the pleas,
Echoing through the trembling trees.

Gas masks on, fear in their eyes,
Yearning for childhood’s sweetest skies.
War’s harsh lessons, too soon learned,
Thirteen-year-old hearts deeply churned.

Oh, World War One, a tragic tale,
Of youth caught in a merciless gale.
Let history speak, let hearts implore,
May such horrors reign nevermore.

Climate Change is No Game

Climate change is no game,
We have to help straight away,
All these droughts and earthquakes, we have
To stop making all these mistakes. Hurry up!
And help. Time is running out. People being lazy this is getting
Crazy.

Climate change is no game, everyone is trying
To get all the fame. No one is helping out
I can’t do this by myself, animals will perish
So you have to listen to this. This is so tiring
All people care about is bling. Come on come hurry up!
Time is running out. But all we need to do is stop this now.

Climate change is no game, we should hurry up and start today
Not tomorrow that’s too lame. Let’s work as a team,
As easy it will seem. From digging up oil to needing
A lot of soil. Please help, the Earth it is crumbling so
If you don’t, we will all end up crumbling.

Climate change is no game, stop driving you’re car and
Take the train. Forests getting cut down
People are harming environments for pounds
And those people need to be taken down.

Life on Earth

by Aliyah, Samona and Saisha

The polar bears and their icy homes,
Are threatened by the rising sea levels.
Heatwaves scorching, making us sweat,
It’s time for action, there’s no time to fret.

Reduce, reuse, recycle, and more,
Small changes add up, that’s for sure.
We can do it together, you must believe
Planting trees, cleaning the air we breathe,

In a world that is changing fast,
The planets future, it won’t last.
Climate change is what we face,
Let’s come together and win the race.

Reduce our carbon, make a change
Sustainable choice’s rearrange
Energy efficient use less fuel,
Protecting Earth , our common rule

Climate Change

by Sami and Josh

In the breath of a changing world, whispers echo,
A beseech from Earth, a call to the heart, a call to the mind.

Beneath the shades of skies
Where clouds dance in circles,
And oceans weave tales with every crest
A narrative unfolds, written in the language of the wind.

Climate change is no game,
We need to act straight away,
The world is dying,
As the environment is crying.

Come on, come on, we need to do this,
Come on, come on we need to hurry up,
Turn down the lights, turn up the volume,
Speak, shout, scream till you need.

We don’t have that much time,
This is your chance to stop this crime.

Though I’m Just Thirteen

0
by Edward Hare

Amidst the world’s fierce fight and roar,
War marches on, leaving hearts sore.
Soldiers brave, their faces grim,
Fighting battles, hopes growing dim.

Guns and bombs, a dreadful sight,
Tearing apart the peaceful night.
Families shattered, torn apart,
Yearning for a brand new start.

Why can’t peace be our song to sing,
Instead of the havoc that war can bring?
With innocence lost, we long to see
A world where love and kindness roam free.

Though I’m just thirteen, I wish and pray,
For a world where war will fade away.
Let’s join our hands, hearts full of grace,
And strive for peace in every place.

My Sad Life

by Kaydence Wales

Ghosts, vampires all of the above
Zombies, monsters all up above
I love them all
Death, love, heartbreak galore
I love them all
They break my heart, tell me they’re gay
My friends betray me yay yay yay
Who’s with me on this?
My life is sad
It makes me mad

The Lie of War

0
by Liza and Holly

War is so dreadful.
But maybe successful
Fight for one’s country,
Yet never be free.

Telling your loved ones the same old lie,
That this won’t be our last goodbye.
Come on lads,
Make your dads proud.
You soon will be bowed.

But don’t get your hopes up.
As you are on thin ice,
So don’t let yourself pay the bing bang price.

Mary

by Caleb Te Wharau

As Mary sat there in a pool of sunshine,
she felt the warm sun caressing her face
She laid back in the soft grass
running her fingers through it.
She laid back and watched the clouds run above her
and the birds fly past.
She could hear the trees swaying fom side to side
waving at Mary.

Fallen Heroes

by Lukas Lofqvist

When his strength is all he has
War is pain for those fighting
Death is all around
When he reaches his limit
He feels pain
Bellum mortiferum est

When the rain comes
All he has is himself
All those that die
Cry in heaven
His comrades limping like hags
Shaking like scared little children
Bellum venenosum est

Guns blasting
Planes bombing
Tanks blowing
Men dying
Men drowning, guttering, crying
All that live
Should
Respect the fallen men
Because
Bellum deformem
