Poems by Battersea Technology College, Year 7
My worlds
Two Worlds, Two Friendly Enemies
The mix of my worlds
Results in a variety of things,
Like a boy sleeping next to a python.
It could result in a city
Havocked with a blackout,
Stealing taking place
And people being stabbed.
It makes a lot of noise
The Stealth airplane
When it flies.
It beats the earth like a fridge.
Those are my two worlds,
And however I try
They can’t get along.
By Abraao
I live in a world of kittens playing around
And shining like gold.
I wish I was a cat.
I live in a world of streets
Where people are all busy
And people are
Loud as roaring lions.
I live in two worlds
That I can’t bring together.
How can I bring these worlds together?
By Faduma
I live in a world of pain
I live in a world of love, of good,
Of bad, of normality.
It may be my destiny to be lonely
I am terrified of pain
It is perfect to let it go
There is nothing I can do
Just me and you
How long will I last before I burst?
By Meshawi
I live in a world of spicy cooking,
Sweet smells and exotic food,
Going out shopping into the street.
I live in a world of guns and warfare,
Playing with my friends online,
Shooting the enemy,
Throwing grenades,
Stealing into the grass like a grasshopper,
Blending into the stem of a plant.
By Thomas
One World Split in Half
I live in two worlds
Of my family’s tender care,
And guns and gangsters
Causing hassle everywhere.
I smell my mother’s sweet cooking,
Hear my little brother’s loud cries,
Happiness surrounding me
Where we don’t believe in lies.
But on the seven o’clock news
I hear bad things
That gangs have robbed jewellery shops,
Shooting innocent people,
Taking bracelets and rings.
Why can’t we live happy
In an innocent world,
Where police sirens don’t exist?
Why can’t we live happy
I think to myself,
Why?
My mother comforts me
When I’m feeling poor,
But those who’ve lost their loved ones
Because of the guns
Have no one to comfort them.
By Fatima
I live in a world of belief and reality,
A world of eyes staring me up and down,
Of people calling my name,
Of pain and agony, hate and crying
Loud as a pin drop.
I live in a world of endless chores
And if a pin drops, my aunty roars:
‘Britni, Britni! Come down ‘ere,
Do your work properly,
You have no responsibility I fear.’
The schoolwork’s too hard,
They put too much pressure,
In English we write stories
And in Maths we learn to measure.
By Britni
The World of War
I live in a world of war.
I fight in this world, I fight even more,
I love my world,
But I love the world of peace,
But I love The World of War.
I want to escape
I want to live
I do not want to fight in the war
My world of peace is no more
The world of peace
The world of peace has been destroyed.
By Blair
I listen to loud music
Like loud explosions,
Tornados with whipping leopards.
I live in two worlds:
Of nice sweet smells
Cooking, shouting, playing 24/7,
And on Sunday
Loud church bells
Of children and teenagers
Getting involved in gangs,
Hassling innocent people,
Leaving them with nightmares
Of loud gun bangs.
By Cadeisha
I live in a world of computer games
And shouting
Loud music popping in my head
Of kicking a ball
Then coming back like a raindrop
By Igor
I live in two worlds,
Funland and Family land.
I live in a world of sweets,
Of dogs, Pitbulls shaking people.
I live in a world
Of jungle tigers roaring loud.
I have a world
With enemies hating me.
I have a world of football,
Being a professional football player.
By Glodi
I live in two worlds of
Family and warmth
And loud noises.
I live in a world of
Killers and cold
And the sound of gunshots.
I live in a world of
Sweets and candy.
I live in a world of
Knives and guns.
By Adam
I live in a world of animals
Soft and cute as a cloud.
I live in a world of hopes and dreams
Where nothing comes true
Not even hopes.
I live in a world of Games,
Pokemon fighting, gaining points.
I live in a world of Zeldas
And riding zooming around the house.
My worlds colide
And sometimes are peaceful
But overall they are mayhem.
By Shonia
I live in a world of sweets and candy
I live in a world of coke and shandy
I live in a world of pollution and crime
I live in a world of thugs with knives
I live in a world of peace and harmony
I live in a world where people comfort me.
By Connor B
I live in a world of sweet smells of food
And the smell of petrol, even though it’s bad,
And strong smells of sprays
Like the strength of ten men.
I live on a world of war and shooting,
Like Call of Duty,
Frozen games like a stone statue.
I live in two worlds
One with peace
Another with violence and sadness.
By Jamell
I live in two worlds
Of school and home,
Of screaming
And PSP all day.
I live in two worlds.
The mix of them is
Flashing screens
And the sound of bombing in my head.
By Christiano
Worlds of War
I live in a world of sweet smells
And flashing images on a screen
With my eyes nearly ready to pop out.
I live in a world of screaming fans
And fast motion
Like riding a tiger through
The eye of a tornado;
And my foot connecting to a rock
Like Superman kicking the earth
And a cheetah running at the speed of light.
These worlds that I live
Are mostly crazy, but a lot of fun,
They do not connect,
Like a world war:
Germany, Russia and England
Clashing together.
By Tariq
I live in a world of screams
And non-stop working.
I live in a world of no smells
And not too much happiness.
By Joselyn
I live in a world of guns, and knives
That plunge into your body.
I live in a world of guns
As the bullets go as fast as cheetahs.
I live in a world of sweet smells,
Of flowers and sweet cooking
In my house,
Of my mum and dad.
By Torine
I live in a world of cooking,
And the kitchen floor.
I live in a world of fanatic roars
When the leather flies and
Hits the fisherman’s net.
When I get home
I take off my smelly boots,
And smell the fresh smell
Of delicious food.
By Louis
I live in a world of fun and games
And I’m out of control
I live in a world of when I come home
I eat, sleep and watch TV
And then my life starts all over again.
By Alaa
I live in a world of funfairs
And games with all my friends.
I live in a world of love
And peace with my family.
I live in a world of picking berries
For my mum and sister
I live in two worlds of
Games on the computer
And of football games.
I live in a world
Of street and grime music.
I live in a world of Baseball,
That’s what I like, sport.
By Traevon
I live in a world of flashing lights
And video game fights.
I live in a world of fear on the streets,
Rhythms and beat.
I live in a world of stab wounds
And memories lost like a deleted file,
Like haters under the knife,
And the parents of the lost ones say
Why?
Where life’s not a choice.
I live in a world of blistered hands
And sore fingers,
High volume like you’re inside the TV.
It says, Come play with me.
By Reece
I live in a world of people around me,
I live in a world of parents working in places,
I live in a world of my family
With me because I am very safe,
I live in a world with lots of friends,
I live in a world of cash machines,
And of kids playing in the park.
By Gemma
I live in a world where we watch TV
I live in a world of shops and parks
I live in a world of dogs and cats
I live in a world of kids playing in the park.
By Andrew
I live in a world of sleep,
Of walking through an estate,
Of mud, rocks, and shops.
By Adam
I live in a world of comfort,
Of a warm fluffy cloud,
I live in a world of liveliness in the streets,
Of youth, as I follow it, path by path.
I live in a world of parks,
Of trees, grass and ice-cream,
Of fun screams of joy and laughter
As the sun shines in my face
On the swing, swinging
To and fro.
I live in a world of entertainment,
Of Nintendo, DS Lite, and music
As I lie in my bed,
And the comfort of my mum and sister,
My life of happiness.
By Chevonne
I live in a world of joy
That I enjoy so much.
I live in a world of comfort
Like my cushy pillows
The colour of yellow.
I live in a world of homework,
It makes me learn more and more.
I like both worlds,
But school is better
Because you can learn loads.
By Kirsty
I live in a world where I fight for the PS3
So I bought a new Nintendo.
I live in a world of cold and damp.
At home I can get hurt,
But on the street I can get killed.
By Luke
I live in a world of danger, guns and knives
I live in a world of news of murder and robbers
I live in a world of technology games and Xboxes
I live in a world of adventures and different places.
By Kamil
I live in a world of youth and family
Which all get along very happily
The buildings are tall and my family is strong
While in the park we kick a ball along.
The world of youth is a quiet peaceful place,
Everything is clean and there is no disgrace,
The world of family is fun and aromatic,
The way we clean is a good tactic.
It is exciting, and at lunch, boy do they run,
It seems everything is a brew of fun,
And when everything seems to get pitch dark,
We all drop to a deep, deep sleep.
By Ali
I live in a world of pillows,
Of PS3, bed and football,
Of kebabs, friends and brawls.
By Bryan
I live in a world of strangeness,
My family embarrassing me every day.
I live in a world of school,
I get cussed, get called ‘Drool’.
By Billy
I live in a world of cash,
Which I spend with my family,
I live in a world of sport,
Which is active.
I live in a world of kids,
Playing in the park.
I live in a world of cars,
Driving people around.
By Mohammed
I live in a world with my family
And Love.
My family is my soul,
I’m always excited to have fun with them.
I wonder what I would do without them
And my friends.
It is all I want for my life, till I die.
There shall my family and friends be forever
No matter what.
I love shopping, me, I like spending.
I would love to own a shop.
I love shopping, me, I like spending.
All I need are friends,
All I need is my family.
I need them to have fun with.
They spend time with me
As if I am someone special.
That’s all I need for my life till I die.
They take me shopping,
They like to spend on me,
They are like the best parents I have ever had.
By Habiba
I live in a world of family
I love my mum and dad
I never want them sad
Because sometimes they feel bad
And that’s the worst thing I ever had
I live in a world of friends
In my school it’s so cool
I have five friends that we say never ends
They are the best friends forever more
They are me best friends I am sure
By the way that’s not against the law.
By Attiya
I live in a world of family
And a world of school
We all get along
By All-awkat
I live in a world of family
I live in a world of love
I live in a world of happiness
Which resembles the sign of the dove
I live in a world of streets
I live in a world of bravery
I live in a world where
Anything can happen to me.
By Michelangelo
I live in a world of special faith
I live in a world of education.
By Bqayon
I live in a world of school
Where I have lots of friends
The one I love the most is Noor
And Arjeta.
I love them so much, as friends,
And I would hate to lose them.
By Jessica
I live in a world of family,
With my siblings, my parents,
Whom I love.
I live in a world of family,
Where I always try to have fun.
I live in a world of family
That I know loves me very much
And I love them too.
I live in a world of the street
Where I play out with my friends.
All the cars running their petrol,
People dealing drugs,
Brick dust and rat poison.
So my two worlds are family and street.
With my family I feel safe,
But on the street anything can happen.
By Noor
I live in a world of family
Which I play and have fun in,
I love them so much.
I live in a world of the street
Where I mess about and joke around.
I live in a world of friends,
They are all kind, except for one
Who is wannin it!
I live in two worlds, of family and friends.
They are all the people I like,
But my family I love.
My world is very friendly.
By Arjeta
I live in a world of the street
I live in a world of fried meat
I live in a world of football
I live in a world of acting cool
I live in a world of my family
I live in a world of love
I live in a world of trust
I live in a world of a child.
