The Great Wall of China
Ozara Yau, Poetry: Group 3, Island School
he Great Wall of China
One of the seven wonders…
The Great Wall of China
2000
years ancient and more…
The Great Wall of China
The longest man made structure of all…
The Great Wall of China
Stops Invasions from the north…
The Great Wall of China
Tourists come every day to climb the wall…
The Great Wall of China
More than a million builders’ lives were lost
Not paid and were forced
Sorrow from their family is the pitfall!
The Great Wall of China
The longest cemetery on earth
The Great Wall of China
The First emperor of all emperors’
Qin Shi Huang and his tomb of expiry
Still buried in the dirt of this earth
Feeling safe and protected
Protected by his terra cotta army
People Died
People Starved
People lived life in poverty for this
All just for this
All this, is it worth the lives and the death
Of many great people
Who are loved and cared by their family
But was forced to be a slave
And work day and night till
Death
The Great Wall of China is worth all that? Or is it
