War is the best solution By Memoona Naushahi 16 years
I'm patriotic, I'm heroic, I killed a child with my hands. I'm American; I'm a soldier, I killed in the name of my land. I'm a leader; I'm a warrior, And I surely don't have no fear. Then why do I go and fight over there? 'Cos I'm afraid that they'll come here. They threaten my freedom, they threaten my life, They jeopardise my free will. That's why we need to 'stop' them, That's we need to kill. I don't need to justify what I do, For that has already been done. Yet the battles will always be raging, And the war will never be won.

 The Spiral Poetry for Peace Competition 2007 is now closed. Over 350 entries were received, and the winning poem will be used as the theme page for a new interactive online peace campaign designed by Bluhalo, one of UK's leading digital design and build agencies. The winning poem will be annouced on the 21st of September. In the meantime, check out these poems which we thought were worth mentioning. We will be uploading poems daily to this section, so come back often to read the poems and celebrate Peace through Poetry. |
