A poem by Megan

On reading Megan's latest topic book on the Amazon I came across this poem she had written earlier in the term and to say I was amazed was putting it mildly.

The time has come,
The time of destruction,
The time of danger has reached us.

The time I thought I was safe has ended,
The time to find a new home is here.

The time of trust has been stolen,
The time of happiness is gone forever,
The time of sadness has taken over,
The time of hope has died.

The time of the Amazon is disappearing,
The time of creatures and trees are done,
The time of beauty has been destroyed.

The time has come to
Run
Run
Run.


Certainly made me think.
