Dear, Charlotte
Scarlet soldiers surrender, And fall like bowling pins. Forgetting what they're here for, Do you remember them? Happy isn't an option, Without any gin. Bang! Smash! They’re getting closer, I listen as silence falls. Then I hear a murmur I hear again my captain’s calls. He calls for me and my friend, But he could not take it any more. Bang! And that was end I could not believe what I just saw. I felt a tear trickle down my cheek, The colours were so beautiful. Crash! I could not speak, The pain was pitiful. War is not what people think: Death, hunger, pain and injury. All these words can link And now young Charlotte please remember me, At the end of every war the warriors come home hoping what they have seen and done wouldn't stay with them forever. But for some fighters they cant stop until they get what they want. And this is why I had to go I know we wouldn't see each other again but listen Don't think of me as weak Don't think of me as foolish Because you don't know the story of war until you have been in the trenches. By Temi 8M
Deep breathes and last letters fly all over the trenches, Not one man can be left on the benches, Innocent lives drop like flies and piercing screams echo for miles, Souls get stacked and shoved in piles, Bombs blow like fireworks but the scene doesn’t turn pretty, Hurry up! Hurry up! Every man for themselves! Hurry up! Hurry up! Not much time left now! Aching all over but nothing can stop me- That was the end for me........ By Alisha
Just Not War
The sky was red, Resemblance of the dead. The gunshots sounded the sky, Whilst the spirits flew high. Sparks and flames shoot everywhere, Come join the horror if you dare. Screams and shouts, Fly all about. Terror shrieks through the air, The noise is hard to bare. Dead bodies carpet the floor, Could this leave anyone wanting more? For the dead of the soldiers, For the good of us… Is it worth it? The lives we loose The pain that’s caused, Anything else is worth it, Just not war. By Katie 8M
Hate War
Another child wakes up without her dad, I hear it so much I forget to feel sad. Millions of innocent people have died through war But the fighting carries on so much more. Hearts are broken and lives are shattered, Greed, money and power are the things that mattered. Billions of pounds spent on weapons of war, While people have nightmares on the things that they saw. There’s fighting and wars all over the Earth. Lives being lost, what is the worth? How did it all start? What has man done? One more mother crying out for her son. I hate all the fighting and all the pain Peace will come on the Earth again. By Dionne 8M
Keep it on the Field
Bodies, blood and tears, Sprawled across the floor, It not just in the fields, We can’t take it anymore. In the bedroom in the bathroom, All around the house, Fear is running through it, Like a silent yet lethal mouse. And how are we supposed to live, We’re not the ones with gun and knife, It’s getting harder for us each day, We’re also fighting for our life War is evil, war is bad, There is no way for us to heal, So stop it or please at least, Keep it on the field. By Katie
My Son, the Soldier
I love my son with all my heart Even though we are now forever apart I never expressed the feelings I had inside my sin And now I cant all I’ve got are the memories within I can’t tell him how proud I was when he rode his first bike First slept without the lights on, when he caught his first pike I had all these amazing feelings bundled up inside of me But now I am empty nothing left but irony And the worst part of it all is that I can’t do anything about it I have to sit there with not a smile in sight and cope alone not having a chance to doubt it Doubt the fact that he should have gone to war I can’t imagine the things he heard, felt and saw I sometimes think I hear him here and there But then I realize it was just the wind in the air. By Molly 8M
My anti-war poem. Is war the answer?
Utter hatred blowing out of guns, Like a thousand bullets all at once Is this really the right way to end everyday? I wish everyone could see peace with each other, Just a few seconds pass, and we’re rushing for cover Can’t they see war isn’t the answer? My companions dropping like heavy stones in front of my eyes, Never again, able to rise. Protective helmets rolling to the ground The piercing of the bombs and cries, the only sound. Is this a victorious ending? We marched on through, Flashbacks of the mayhem still clear in our minds, For now it’s over, but soon again it will repeat, Maybe one day people will understand that war is wrong, Maybe one day we’ll all stand strong Not apart but together as a whole. By Alicia 8M
Soldiers Suffer
Bang My ear drums rang Crash A field full of bodies and trash Boom Soldiers duck and find room Blood My tears make a flood Regret This sight, how will I ever forget? Fear I drop to the floor cause of the weight of all the gear Pain I think I've turned insane It's time I hold my hands up, the enemy commits a crime No more worry Nothing to explain A point to Germany My soul shall not rise again. By Chloe

Now the war has stopped and I am going to rebuild it. By Mohammad 8M
Why War?
Why war? Scream the thousands of war torn families Why war? Cry the millions of homeless orphans Why war? Shout out the billions of innocent dead Why war? As it only brings destruction and death Why war? All it does is make a people take one last dying breath Why war? It can only send us into extinction taking billions of innocents with it There’s only one to stop war, We must work together. Just ask yourself, Why War? By Ben
Why War?
War is very bad it ends up very sad. Hundreds of people die, leaving the families to cry. Young people go to war, and then bang there on the floor. War has bombs falling from the sky, And everyone says goodbye. Running away from where the bombs just lay, seeing friends die, from the war planes in the sky!
