War Poem

War Poem

Suffer the pain
Not even making a gain
Doing it in vein
Wondering if I’m sane

I don’t know why they allow
They even get a bow
From their priest
Who believes in letting out a beast

Children are dying
People are crying
Are we blind
Forgetting they’re not kind

To the people they kill
Up on a hill
With a camera on
Showing it to the world at dawn

Suffer the pain
Not even making a gain
Doing it in vein
Wondering if I’m sane

We sit here like mice
Gambling with our dice
We’re so egotistical
Watching them be like a bull

Going in the battle ring
Thinking that they’re the king
Using all they got
Shot after shot after shot after shot

No day goes bye
Without people who die
From the hands of others
Sometimes even brothers

Suffer the pain
Not even making a gain
Doing it in vein
Wondering if I’m sane
Why oh why
Do these people die
We hear them cry
All they do is lie

The world may change
We’ll get them in range
Get this world back in shape
And protect it with a cape

But until that day
We must remember some lay
On the ground
Trying to survive like a lonely blood hound

Suffer the pain
Not even making a gain
Doing it in vein
Wondering if I’m sane

Note from Ms. St. Helene

Dear Mr. G and Grade Six Students,

I wanted to begin by thanking all of you for one of the most meaningful and conceptually beautiful assemblies I personally have ever seen. Thank you for honouring the fallen soldiers and for reflecting in such a touching way, on the events of Kristallnacht. You captured the solemnity of this occasion with thoughtfulness and maturity and you left us all with pause for thought. You should all be incredibly proud of your sense of purpose and your dedication. The school truly appreciates your efforts. On behalf of all of us on the administration team, thank you.

Sincerely,

Ms St. Helene
