Equality

Today's the day the women say
The day the world will go our way
The day we all will become free
To live in a world of equality
But today is another sequel
Today we will not become equal
Because today we look and see
Today we start working for free
In 2015 it still is true
That we are not paid as much as you
Because you're male you get paid more
And women seem to know the score
Even though we work as hard
From parts of life we still are barred
So today is not the day
And will not be until we're paid
The same as men because its true
That we are just as good as you

Bunny of Doom

There was a little bunny that was very pink and small

Who didn’t think the world was very fair to him at all

And so this little bunny had a cunning plan

This cute, pink little bunny would take over the land

The Bunny went to Westminster to talk to the PM

He said that the First Minister had said that they were lame

That England was just rubbish and Scotland should be free

And nobody could stop her and the SNP

He then bounced off to Scotland and spoke to the FM

And told her that Westminster would bind Scotland in chains

They planned to close the parliament and make Scotland their slaves

And only he, the bunny, could stop this taking place

He tricked the politicians into writing laws

That gave him lots of power – they thought to fight their cause

There was lots of legal jargon and some special hidden parts

That helped the little bunny keep the power that he sought

All the laws got passed and the politicians had a shock

What they actually had wanted was nothing like they got

The bunny had the power and he continued with his plan

For now this little bunny was in charge of all the land

The people they were frightened of what might come to be

So they listened very closely when he made his first decree

I am a little bunny that is small and pink its true

And because I am so little no one listened to my view

There are others out there like me who seem to be ignored

Because they are called different and can’t fight for their own cause

I am going to make some changes so everyone is free

To live a happy life in peace and equality

So the bunny made some new laws and made sure they very obeyed

And most everyone was happy and the worlds a better place

And those that disobeyed them very quickly learned

Don’t mess with little rabbits or you’re sure to end up burned

The moral of this story is to listen to the small,

To those of us who are different, in fact thats nearly all

And now we are all happy and just because we can

We have a celebration cause a Bunny rules our land

Word Wood

In the word wood you can see

Poetry hung from the trees

And stories hunting over ground

To where the writers can be found

Or do the writers hunt the words

To try and make the stories heard

Sometimes dreamers come and see

Imagination running free

They grab ideas and take them home

To new words were ideas can roam

To change the world to something new

To open doors to let others to

Discover a wood were words are free

And poetry hangs from the trees

Monsters

In the city when lights are low

The vampires do come and go

And werewolves stalk the city streets

Looking for the freshest meat

In graveyards ghouls are often seen

By graves were bodies may have been

And in the streams the kelpies stay

To play with those who’ve lost their way

But when the light rises in the sky

The streets feel safe but is that a lie

For not all monsters hide away

There are some that live in light of day

They look just like us, you and me

They’re very hard for us to see

And unlike the ones we seem to know

They monsters are not ones on show

For night time monsters are more safe

Than those who do not show their face

Be wary of what you cannot see

Or lost to monsters you will be

Dragons

This is where the dragons go

Through flame and thunder deep below

The wait in time and in space

Watching, waiting for the place

That will allow them to rise again

They do not mean to be our friends

They mean to scorch this bitter earth

To start it on a grand rebirth

For humans waste the earth’s sweet gifts

And on through time the earth does drift

Her beauty tarnished by misuse

While humans cannot see the truth

That we cannot continue thus

Or earth she will destroy all of us

And so she waits for change to rise

When dragons come and fill the skies

To help the humans disappear

Be careful as that time is near

And in the deeps the dragons wait

To assist us to our awful fate
