The following poem was written as part of a poetry-writing event at Spurgeons Academy, to mark World Poetry Day
In the morning
People are working
And are searching
Down in the plains
Sweating and shaking
People are busy in the morning.
Street children are playing in the dust
Rubbing their self in the dust, up and down
Parents struggling for them to go to school
Working very hard to provide for their needs
People are busy in the morning
Women are digging
Up they come
Swinging their hips
Carrying baskets on their heads
Ready to sell their goods People are busy in the morning
