Through the eyes of a British Soldier by Ben

SummaryThrough the eyes of a British Soldier by Ben from Otumoetai Intermediate School was part of an entry by Room 17 into the 150th commemoration of the Battle of Gate Pā Poetry Poster Competition (2014). Main BodyI see…

People dressed in different clothing

Soft feather clothing

Dark skin

People doing weird dancing and chanting

Hideous faces

Historical tattoos

Soldiers getting shot

I hear

Deafening screams

Fierce gunshots cannons firing

Leaves chattering

Panting soldiers

I am thinking

Am I going to survive?

Is our plan working?

What was all that chanting and dancing?

What sort of language are they speaking?

I hope my family is safe

Am I going to die?
