I chose animal cruelty because there are too many animals getting injured. I hate when people hurt a dog or even don't look after a pet properly. If somebody wants to be beat up animals or hurt them they should be put in jail for years. An animal is basically like a human and if you want to hurt an animal you want to hurt a human. There are people in the world who really love animals and there are people who absolutely hate them!

Abuse Deformed Rejected Not wanted

Why I Chose Whaling

Well when I went for an exertion to Hearvy bay in year 5 to go whale watching whales just seemed to be the most gentle creechers in the world. They swim around like we walk around and just when they feel like it they can perform some pretty spectacular stunts, including the breech, the wave, the spy hole etc. And when I think about it people over in Japan or Iceland, killing whales is wrong. That's just like someone in a car and shooting you with a gun. Whales also have the most amazing sounds with people recording them and showing them off to the world. The most heart breaking thing about all this is they chop them into pieces and serve them at restaurants, I would rather die than see whales being served at a restaurant, and the same goes for any other animal. And that's why We should treat whales the same as us

People killing whales are big fat dummies,

They kill whales for a living and somehow earn money,

They should sit at home and suck there tummies,

They think they're so big and tough, especially funny,

Killing whales is so mean and cruel,

I think whales should live a fun life like we have,

It's like drowning a human in a pool,

I chose pollution because I really care for this problem because it is one of the worlds biggest problems and doesn't get as much attention as it should

The world today is full of pollution

Many scientists can't find a solution

Temperatures are rising and animals are dying

All this is truly horrifying

The smelters are putting smoke into the sky

But people don't care and just walk right by

I feel very lucky to have not be abused, my family is very loving.

I don't know much about abuse towards children but I feel that they would dread going home as the might get yelled at or even hit, at school you sometimes see kids that have bruises on them or are often frightened and they are sometimes depressed. Child abuse is a terrible thing and has been happening for 100s of years it needs to be stoped so children can feel safe with there family in there own home.

Child Abuse

Forever dreading to go home

They would rather go hungry and roam

Living in fear of the people who should love you

Each day the anger will brew

Each thing you do could lead to dangers

Your family like rude strangers

I made the decision to chose this topic for a wide range of different reasons. Ocean pollution is a very big issue and is effecting all water sources containing life as well as the people of our society.  Our current time is not immune to this complication.

I am very passionate towards animals and I care for their safety and well-being, strongly. As well as being unintentionally kind and gentle towards our society, those animals are dying in those polluted oceans and we are paying them no reward.

Something needs to be done to prevent the rapid decrease in population of sea life however our society has previously failed numerous times before.

I care for the animals of the sea and it hurts to see them killed and suffocated because we can't be bothered to walk to a bin. It is a serious problem and that it should be taken. These are the main reasons I have chosen this topic for my protest poem.

OCEAN POLLUTION
All these suffering animals,

Dying in the sea,

From all of this rubbish,

Put in their homes by me.

I am man,

A dangerous but gentle species,

I make mistakes,

Unintentionally.

What I am doing is wrong,

And yet it doesn't phase me,

I can be bad,

But I can change me.

I am man,

I need to fix me,

I need to do it fast,

But this time intentionally.

Coral crustaceans are dying,

And yet I am here lying,

To myself and all the animals,

Suffering in the sea.

Plastic bags are floating,

Suffocating innocent turtles.

Food wrappers are flying,

Blinding the eyes of birds.

All these poor animals,

Dying in the sea,

From all of this rubbish,

Put in their homes by me.

I am man,

A dangerous but gentle species,

I need to fix my mistakes,

But this time intentionally.

Sea life are dying,

Because Ocean pollution kills.

And yet here I am,

I won't even pay the bills.

Nuclear waste in Northern Territory

I have chosen to talk about this because I believe that planting nuclear waste in our untouched beautiful Northen territory, it is cruel to the inviroment and the people of the Northern Territory, planting a nuclear waist plant will be extremely dangerous and harm our Australian people. I certainly don't want our beautiful Northern teritory ruend when we could stop it.

I am doing bullying because I have got bullied myself and that a lot of people are getting bullied. I also chose this poem because a kid on A show got bullied, so he wrote a song about it and I liked it.

Bullying herts inside and out

I think it is rude without a doubt

We come to school to learn not to fight

When they go to bed they cry all night

All they ever want is a friend

Not for there whole life to end

Everyday they pretend like there fine

But inside they want to shout and whine

If they call you names like ugly

Isis children fighters

Every child has the right to feel safe. Isis come into people's homes give them 24 hours to leave or convert. If they do neither then Isis will kill them. This is definitely not making children feel safe. Isis will then force the children to fight for them. They train then in horrendous ways. Brainwashing them and using brutal punishment to join there army. Children should not be forced to live this way. That is why I choose to right a protest poem on Isis children fighters. The children cannot voice themselves so it is our job to be there voices for them. To stand up for what is right. This cannot keep happening. The children wearing suicide bombes. Carrying a gun and forced to shoot and kill other human beings. They are just kids. I feel very strongly about this. The children around the world need to stand up for those unlucky children that are forced to fight. It needs to stop. Today.

Isis

Bullets racing around the desert at the speed of light.

Women and children screaming accepting the bedrazzled fate.

The desert tries with all it’s might to reach out to intercept the bullets.

The blood stains the sand, as red as a ripe tomato.

The black flags torn and ripped by destruction.

The brave peacekeepers protecting the people, sacrificing themselves for the greater good.

bodies are left were they fell, stuck forever in a timeless bloodshed.

The cries of the wounded, piercing the forever sound barrier of gunshots.

planes a distant hum in the back ground swooping in for the kill.

The People are fleeing by the second.

The lines at the port, as long as the Great Wall of china.

The cities are as deserted as a ghost town.

A barren wasteland torn apart by war.

The most dangerous place on earth.

More dangerous than a plane with no engine.

Help is needed for these braves innocent people.

The reasons I chose this topic was because I feel sorry for the homeless because they don't get to live a good life like us who are wealthy or even have just a little big of money. Homeless people are everywhere and I think it should be brought to people's attention that just a smile to the homeless could make their day. This is the reason I'm doing homelessness.

- hopeless, homeless humans
- Starving, sick soles
- Starving like an anarecsix

I chose abandoned cats because I love cats and want all cats to have somewhere to call home. I have adopted a cat and she was left at the owners old when they moved and we were able to see her rib cage. While I was there I heard some of the other stories one cat was left in a car that was sitting on the side of the road for two days.

Alone left abandoned forgotten

I chose this topic because i like ferret’s and it is sad that one of the different ferret species are dying out they are cute and don’t deserve this fate what did ferrets ever do to deserve this they didn’t do anything so i chose this topic to voice my concern not just about ferrets but other endangered species that don’t deserve this fate.

The government only puts bans on poaching and hunting they don’t try to rehabilitate them because thats apparently not up to them so they leave it for the wildlife carers which is putting strain in there every day work the need more in their budget they need more help to save what humanity's destroying  our very existence is destroying this planet if we eventually do colonise other planets where just doing to those. Planets what we did here we should either learn from our ways our we should stop existance

Ideas

Furious fun ferret

Poaching is bad

Theres a type thats endangered which is sad

Their really crazed

Not amazed

Their gonna snap

Stop this trap

Fast fun ferrets

On the run

Poacher on the hunt

Stop the bunt

Poachers have the rifles

Which we need to stifle

We need to stop

So get the cops

I firmly believe that homework is not necessary for school students. Students already have work to do at school and they don't need to stress about homework. Assignments already pressure and stress students about getting them finished. As a 12 year old, some may not fully value my opinion but this topic effects all children. About 8/10 children hate and absolutely dread homework. I personally HATE homework and I believe that I would be able to adapt personal to this topic. Giving me extra passion for it because of the hatred I show towards homework. Students deserve to be stress free and not have to worry about finishing unnecessary things like homework. Children lose time with their family which means that their social skills decrease and they see less of their loved ones. If their was no homework it would reduce the anger that students show at home and at school. They don't have to do something that they find pointless meaning that they are more approachable and calmer towards people.

Homework- Is it necessary?
Sad sobbing students strongly stressing about stupid, silly homework.

Homework is as pointless as tonsils.

It is boring like a rare, rotten, rainy day.

Pressure of homework kills people inside like the stab of a knife.

Children lose precious moments with the ones they love.

They loan for more tender care.

Homework stops children from relaxing after a hard day of school.

Some children are as talented at sport asking

The only problem is they can't practice because of homework.

Others who play inter school sport have less time to do their homework.

Then they get in trouble.

Horrible homework hurts the human race.

I have chosen the topic of child solders because kids know days are not great full for there life as children all over the world are being forced and encouraged to kill, hurt and fight. We have the right to do want we want, when we want not to be forced to kill someone, or to hit someone in the face just because you have to, we as children don't need the guilt of what we have seen and done.

S: there eyes are brown as deep as the see surrounded by sorrow and innocence

There eyes tell silent stories so silent it is pitch black

M:

L:
Deadly destroying bombs
Crashing, cutting our live in half.

I have chosen this issue because I believe that this particular problem has touched me very deeply. it is happening way too much and the things they do to the young girls are horrific, just imagine how tough it would be if you're little girl or boy went missing and you might never see them again. Another reason why I have chosen this poem is because keep in mind that these children that are being taken and sold into slavery can range from six to seventeen so it is in my age group and I also think that it would be very sad to be a slave, they get beaten up, abused and starved if they didn't behave and sometimes they even kill them just imagine how terrible it would be.

Way to young to refuse,

I have so much to lose.

We all just want to go home,

I wish they would leave me alone.

if I try to refuse,

I am broken beaten and bruised.

I choose this topic ‘loneliness’ because I think there are a lot of children that are suffering with loneliness. Some people in society don't seem to accept people. The people that they don't accept they may not look the same or act the same as you. But everyone deserves a chance. After you give them a chance and accept them into the community you will get to know them very well and you will have a great feeling in your heart. Thats why I choose the topic ‘loneliness’.

Sitting in the corner like 1 pear in a fruit bowl.

I see them watching me like I'm there pray.

They walk away like a heard of cattle

Paragraph:
I have chosen this topic against violence towards children as I believe they have the right to avoid violence at home and other places, they should feel safe. People of both genders under 18 should have the right to stop abuse of many different aspects including verbal, sexual, physical abuse and neglect. Abuse is mainly towards males in Australia. This subject should be stopped as it affects the confidence, health and more towards a growing child. My aim is to make people more aware of this wide spread problem to vary the amount of abuse in Australia

Eyes as red as wine

But those who asked were replied with, “I'm fine!”

Her face so very pale

As white a wedding vale.

No one would help, no one would care

The only support was from her own sins and prayer.

Her screams bellowed in the late afternoon

And also louder just after noon.

Heard absurd

Please tease

Screamed beamed
Care prayer
Wine fine

ANIMAL CRUELTY

I chose Animal cruelty because people kill animals because they are not fast enough in races. We hit, starve and shoot animals because we do not like them. Animal rights is important to me because most animals have done nothing wrong but we kill them, starve them and even torched them just for our enjoyment. Animals have almost the same rights as humans. We put animals in cages that are to small for them, we also whip and do many other cruel things to them and that is why I think animal rights is important.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose Animal Cruelty because I am an animal lover
and because I'm passionate about animals
I have never done anything about animal Cruelty ever.
I want to stop animal Cruelty for good but I know it would never happen.
I want people to know about animal Cruelty and what people do to animals. Animals are innocent. Don't hurt animals, what if you were an animal and someone was cruel to you would you like it?

Deforestation

I think that deforestation is a bad problem because the trees and plants produce the air we breathe and with less oxygen theirs more carbon dioxide witch helps cause global warming.

Also the big machines the use to cut down the trees burn fossil fuels emoting greenhouse gases.

Why do we chop down the trees

They don’t harm us they don’t hunt us

There just big graceful giants gently swaying in the wind

Without trees we would die

So why don’t they have rights too

The big beautiful trees are home to many animals and exotic fruits

Their light luscious leaves are snacks for some animals

You may stumble on the reaching roots

But that’s no point to chop “em” down
