Rena by Prithvi Naicker (Maungatapu School)

DescriptionIn 2011 Maungatapu School's Room 13 (year's 2 & 3) wrote poetry in reaction to the Rena disaster. The poetry and posters appeared in a window display at Tauranga City Library.

Everything's quiet while Rena is sinking down in the sea.
Rena is leaning to the side letting all containers fall.
Like flowers falling off a tree.
Rena is covering the sea with oil.
People are trying to clean the oil spill.
Locals are angry because they can't go to the beach.
Everyone's cleaning up liek a group of soldiers.
The poisoned chemicals are killing the environment.
Animals and plants are getting killed unnecessarily by the oil.
