LI:Write a list poem to describe the events and the feeling/actions of the people involved
The feelings behind The Mau Movement
Grieving souls mourn in pain
While other children and women still remain
Children are screaming in the mist of helpless air
While dying souls are starring in the glare of the lord's prayer
The overtaking control of many human beings
Are like the surroundings of bangs pleading for scared feelings
Forgiveness is so hard to give to those who are hard to forgive
But us Samoans are the arms of God so we forgive the negative that people give to those that still remain here.
Many years have passed and souls still grieve but the question is above all the darkness that is still wandering in our golden hearts,why do we Samoans and Pacific forgive so easily?
The answer is that God said to always forgive not because they deserve forgiveness but you deserve peace.
Our people of Samoa, people of the Pacific should not drown in the past but lighten up to remain back in the future.
We should dance and flow with peace that God gives to us and not let the past interfere with the peace.
This is my poem I have written to describe the feelings/actions of peom involved in The Mau Movement .
Soemthing that is important to always remember is that forgiving isn't something that someone sometimes deserve but because you deserve peace after all the pressure.Something I learnt about The Mau Movement that impacted on me is that such ruthless Germans/New Zealanders fired and took peaceful protesters away from their homes and their loved ones.Because they wanted to achieve their independence for the ones who come and through new generations and to always remain in peace.
Hi Lily
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing, heartfelt poem you have written. I could really feel the impact the Mau movement had on you and your message of forgiveness is very powerful. It can be very hard to forgive when we have been treated unjustly but shows great strength of character.
Awesome work
