Earth

by Ilham Quddus aged 10

The world is divided into nations
And some even convey oblations.
Some eat noodles.
Some breed poodles.
The world has many derivations.

There’s English, Swahili and Spanish,
Latin – they had to banish.
We are diverse and we are unique
And why shouldn’t we have our own technique?

I dream of an Earth where man shan’t scorn.
Let peace its paths adorn.
We may have our differences
But we’ll still have our acquiescences.
