Inspired by Martin Luther King’s ‘I Have a Dream’ Speech, followed by a discussion of their visions of the future, pupils in Creative Writing Club produced the following poems:
Think
Think
One moment could save a life
Think
One
heartbeat, one lifetime
Think
You can make
it or break it
Think
You have no
time to lose
Think
Every second
counts
Think
Stay
focused, don’t hesitate
Think
All your
training and hours,
All the
nights you stayed up to revise,
All the
blood, sweat and tears,
It ALL leads
up to this,
So take a
deep breath and
Think!

One Day
One day
The end of
racism will come
One day
We will
stand as one
One day
We will
break society’s unjust rules
One day
We will
show them that we’re no fools
One day
We will continue
to demand what is right
One day
We will
realise the reward was worth the fight
One day
Difference
we will allow
One day
soon,
However it should be now.

Imagine
Imagine
Clean, clear seas and oceans
Imagine
Fish eating what suits them
Imagine
No dead coral
Imagine
No plastic killing turtles
Imagine
No oil killing sea birds
Imagine
Whales flourishing
Imagine
What could change.

Do you see it?
Do you see it?
Children playing together, different races
Toddlers pushing a kid round in a wheelchair
Do you see it?
Slum kids trading cards with city kids
Do you see it?
Girls helping boys with their makeup
Do you see it?
Teenagers supporting one another, waving Pride flags
Do you see it?
I wish I could see it now.
