Freedom.
Slaves.
Loss.
Poverty.
Help.
Friends.
Fun.
Play.
School.
Learning.
Emotional.
Crying,
tears.

Expressing,
yourself.

Honesty
by Holly, Age 11

Death, is freedom.
Life, is love.
Love hurts.
Stuff has consequences.
Things we love.
Toys are real.
Children hate,
honesty.


Floating
Anonymous, Age. 10

Trees, green and tall.
Water, blue and white.
Sunny day, sun shining.
Boats, floating.
Light ~ not heavy.
Breeze, a light wind.
Birds, flying in the sky.
Floating.

Freedom! Finally, I am free again!

Nothing.

 

Freedom
by Suhib

Slaves, whipped to death.
Trade, traded to work.
Fair-trade, coffee and chocolate.
Chocolate, tasty snack.
Snack, food between meals.
Meals, eat with family.
Family, together in peace.

Please Listen

Everything
by Ollie H., Age. 11

Honesty in trust,
that lies in people.

Violence that leads to
death,
that has nothing to do
with
everything.

 

Misunderstood

Misunderstood,
people, places, countries,
races, religions.

Confrontation, conciliation,
solution, problem,
discussion, conversation.

Friendship.

 

Freedom
by Ella, Age 10

Freedom adventure,
danger death.
Life, yourself,
opinions, different.

Animals cut, babies small,
big adults don’t get nothing right.

Choices.

Fun, laughing mates.

Family
by Ella, Age 10

Life flows.

Rivers float.

Trust family.
