A Piece of my Dream

1
by Aoife aged 12

A piece of peace we pursue and chase,
to find a world where we have place.
Without rebellion, ruckus and race,
this world I hope, one day to embrace.

After a fall, a fight or a fright,
to be united is to bring light.
A world that’s beautiful, brilliant and bright,
is right in front of us, not yet out of sight.

These idealistic fantasies may be my pointless phantasies,
my naivety, my immaturity, I’m blinded by fallacies.
But still I try, even as I tire,
to bring hope, to bring light, to ignite a fire

We are separated by the oceans, connected by the seas,
connected like a cloth, ripped by the seams.
Connected by love, separated by hate,
and yet, do not fret, it is still not too late.

Because like the sun, we will always rise,
in the daring dawn, with the cerulean sky.
Because like the moon, we control the tides,
in the darkening dusk, creating ties that bind.

Us Children

by Isla aged 12

if us children are not educated right,
this world of ours will not be as bright,
for if you leave our brains to rust,
our earth will turn to dust.

we can be the first to hope and to heal,
we can be the last to suffer and to feel,
pain should not be what we seek,
as pain is what makes us all so bleak.

we go to school every day,
just so we can learn to find a way,
us children will be the ones to practice and preach,
so this is why we need people to tell and teach.

The Ocean

Tidal waves crash into the shore while crabs scurry across the floor
For ocean pollution there is always a solution
The ocean as endless as space.
The divers dive while the fish thrive

The coral reef colorful, beautiful and wonderful.
The ship on the ocean moving with motion.
Deep, deep, deep in the twilight zone many fish call it home.
Many big fish like the great white fish thrive while small fish try to survive.

Equal Rights

We need equal rights
for women and men, boys and girls
So pull up your socks
and tell the government
We will fight our way
until we get equal rights
Then we
will be
HAPPY

No War

The war must stay outta here,
peace must linger in here.
Why war? Why not peace?
Hearing shooting and screaming,
hearing guns and bombs
houses destroyed.

Starving for food
dying for water,
not able to live
not able to eat bread
dead bodies all around
blood everywhere.

All alone
with no one else
children cry
no parents by their side
my heart sinks
to see it like this.
Would you like to be in a
place like this ?

The Wrench

On a broken bench a spare wrench lay.
A lift and a few screws, the bench was as good as new,
but the wrench was done and through.
Now as it lay on the new bench the broken wrench stuck.
With no suspense it lay to rest in vain.
Wishing that it could be used again just like that day.

Games We Play

by Daniel C. aged 12

Games like Roblox
Are pretty fun to play
Games are things we play every day
Fortnight, Minecraft
Among Us and more
Games are things
That people live for
Some games are healthy
like hide’ n ‘seek and tag
Some games are not
Like ones with a red flag
From kids to adults
They all want to play
Because games are things
We play in every way

My Poem About Gender Equality

0
by Ann Onimice aged 12

Yeah, it’s me
My poem is about gender equality
Isn’t it funny how much I care?
Isn’t it funny that I want to be treated the same?
No, no it’s not.

I get laughed at for saying it’s unfair
I try to say what I think but
I feel like every day
I’m being silenced
I feel small, weak
Why boys think they’re better
I’ll never know

Gender Equality

0
by Dylan Mcgran aged 12

Gender equality needs help so maybe go on yelp.
Everyone needs to be treated equally.
No gender should be discriminated even if they’re like bender.
Don’t discriminate the opposite gender.
Every one is equal.
Respect everyone and we can have a good society.

Even animals have genders.
Quietly help people around you.
A good society equals no discrimination.
Unite to help each-other.
Love each-other.
I would like gender equality.
Together we can work well.
You can make a difference.

More Than Just a Girl

by Daisy B. aged 12

Midnight in Dublin,
Killers in town,
They see a woman capable
Of taking people down.

They also see a man,
Too fearful to fight,
He looks so lonely
On the cold, dark, night.

The killers think carefully,
And launch their attack,
But why is it the woman
they stab in the back?

Next morning two deaths
Are announced on the news,
A man was run over,
The stabbed woman too.

His family weeping,
Hers in a rage,
And why is it the man’s death
That’s on the front page?

And what about this?
You walk in a store,
and some of the girl’s clothes
Are ten percent more!

We struggle, we stumble,
We work every day,
The men do the same,
But they still get their way!

The world can be cruel,
But us girls are clever.
And who knows what might happen
If we work together?

We’re leaders and lawyers,
We’re fighters, we’re friends,
We’re helpers and healers,
We bring peace, make amends.

So if you’re a girl,
And you think boys are cooler,
Think: are you a girl?
Or are you a ruler?
