Brian Bilston
Refugees by Brian Bilston
They have no need of our help
So do not tell me
These haggard faces could belong to you or me
Should life have dealt a different hand
We need to see them for who they really are
Chancers and scroungers
Layabouts and loungers
With bombs up their sleeves
Cut-throats and thieves
They are not
Welcome here
We should make them
Go back to where they came from
They cannot
Share our food
Share our homes
Share our countries
Instead let us
Build a wall to keep them out
It is not okay to say
These are people just like us
A place should only belong to those who are born there
Do not be so stupid to think that
The world can be looked at another way
This poem is a very powerful poem. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
Yes because it's negative and it's keeping other people from their country, only the people that were born there can stay in that country. There's a hidden message in 2 ways when you read this.

This is the 3rd activity I've done for reading today, this is about responding to the text, like reading the poem that Brian Bilston wrote about other people entering his country and responding to the questions we got given, and needed to make 2 DLO's that were given in this text. This was fun to do and learning the hidden messages behind the poem, hope you enjoy this DLO. :)
