The Battle of Gate Pa by Jocelyn

SummaryThe Battle of Gate Pa by Jocelyn from Gate Pa School was part of an entry by Room 15 into the 150th commemoration of the Battle of Gate Pā Poetry Poster Competition (2014). Main BodyDangerous shooting, screaming out loud, hearts stopping.
People dying in the dirt.
Māori's waiting… right now is just the beginning.
Flying cannon balls.
Darkness ahead of us.
Deadly fighting.
Some were wounded.
And some had died.
Some were nervous.
Memories gone.
No button to make us come alive.
How life is different to games.
Their blood has gone out from their bodies
Their spirits are still with us today.
