Parvana’s poem
Living in fear of bombs ringing in your ears.
You father has been captured and might die in tears.
You can’t stand up for what you believe.
You were disguised as boy so you could feed.
Why can’t you have a normal life?
You know.
Because the Taliban won’t go.
By Lara Hamilton
WAR
The finger reaching for the lever then pulled one soul lost,
The foot step one by one running and running miss one foot you're falling reaching for a soul to late two souls lost,
THEY'RE COMING RUN RUN
Over a million people die every second
We can still stop that
We have the heart
And the power
This poem is dedicated to Parvana who goes through life changing moment living in Afghanistan.
Ella McAleer
Gaia shall crumble’
The war has been forever old,
evil ideas are starting to unfold.
There hasn’t been a day where we’ve been at peace,
following greed like the golden fleece.
Destruction is at it’s peak,
the good people’s voices are simply meak.
Run Parvan, run, just sprint,
‘Gaia shall crumble’ that’s your hint.
Ahaan Chakrabarty
A bomb is dropped
A life is lost
no matter we know
A taliban is a hitler
This is generation is a unfinished math test
no hope is able
no light is seen
happiness is a dream
sadness is common
the world is corrupt
no light is able
no hope is seen
Benjamin Tate
War is the norm
My life goes by as I go by Sometimes my life makes me cry.
I have experienced war and all the time people don’t want it anymore.
Every child in this world has a right.
But some of these are limited because of huge fight.
Our lives are spinning round and round in our head,
some of these children don’t even have a bed.
education is the norm,
And Parvana’s life is like a storm.
Poem 2
My heart is only one part of this war.
Others have been parted and will part,
as all lives around us will remember that
we can change wars around us
Jack Hadlow

Parvana,Parvana what a lost little girl
filled with sorrow trembling with
fear
the laws the rules the taliban make
lives they kill one to another

hope will be restored and all you
will see is a bright light
parvana parvana the brave little girl
