Our very talented Year 7 pupils have been busy writing poems about the theme 'Refuge' to enter our Oasis Community Learning poetry competition to coincide with World Poetry Day on Thursday 5^th October. Here is one of our entries:

 

Refuge

You want a new phone,

Whilst I want peace to exist,

All these battles with violence,

When will war cease to exist?

Having to flee to a new area,

To a place that is huge,

You seek the new Xbox,

I seek refuge.

To the memory of the fallen,

To the memory of those alive,

We run continuously,

Whilst in your home you thrive.

I want education,

You want to skip your schools,

To the men who destroyed my hometown,

You are the fools.
