Poverty

Imagine life without your phone, could you stand it?

Imagine life without a proper bed, how well would you sleep?

Imagine life without proper food water and even shelter, could you survive?

These conditions aren't just fake,

They are real!

Poverty for goodness sake!

They don't even get a proper meal.

Not just food,

People search far and wide for water.

They travel for kilometres just for a bucketfull,

And if they stumble and slip,

Well tough luck for them.

Despite our funds,

They still suffer

Now take a moment to think,

Could you survive against poverty?

"These conditions aren't just fake,

They are real!

Poverty for goodness sake!

They don't even get a proper meal"

Rhetorical Question  

"Imagine life without your phone, could you stand it?

Imagine life without a proper bed, how well would you sleep?

A Small Deer in a War Zone

A small deer happily prancing along,

Even through the trodden muddy banks,

Even through the war-torn land.

No proper food to eat

No proper place to call home.

A small deer happily prancing along,

Even through the shrapnel filled forest.

Even through the cratered hills.

No one to stay with,

No where to be safe.

Despite these setbacks,

The deer remains happy,

The deer remains hopeful.

The form of poem is free verse.

Bullying

Bullying, it's not cool,

And in fact, all it does is that it makes you look like a fool!

At school, all you classmates will be talking quietly,

About how you pick on that one guy,

And how that guy was very innocent and shy.

Don't you realise what you're doing is wrong?

Don't you realise that even though bullying does make you feel strong,

It is just all for just a short while?

You may think you're superior,

But others just think "What an idiot!"

Then one day you get a call,

The school says the guy you bullied is gone.

Couldn't take it any more,

Had to commit suicide

Because he couldn't abide.....By your lack of respect.

Bullying, it's not cool.
