Thunderstorm
“BOOM! BOOM!” said Thunder.
It wasn’t all right.
The thunderstorm had struck with all its might.
All the little children were crying out of fright.
Gobsmacked adults were saying, “What a sight!”
Some people wonder about the thundercloud’s height.
Lightning looked ever so bright and some infants were ever so scared,
That some toys were held never so tight !!!

Stop Racism
We don’t mind what country you are from
America, India, Australia
What colour is your skin
What religion you are
Christianity, Islam, Hinduism
We don’t mind what language you speak
What place you were born
England, Romania, Nigeria
What accent you have
But one thing we’ll not tolerate
Whether in or outside school
Whether verbal or physical
And that is
Racism
