Deva Gayathri is a grade 10 student of The Oxford School, Dubai. Her composition ‘A Wake Up Call’ was recited by her in Poetic heart 2018
A Wake Up Call
All should build bridges
Instead we build walls
Bridges act like hinges
Preventing a great fall
We build with bricks of ignorance
Trapping ourselves within,
Often sacrificing innocents
Ignoring our conscience crying with chagrin
What do you gain from ignoring
Things that happen around us?
Are you too busy snoring!
Or do you not want to cause a fuss?
It is the prejudice that we should eradicate
Bigoted thoughts we should lock up
A wonderful future awaits
It is time to wake up
It is the prejudice that we should eradicate
Bigoted thoughts we should lock up
A wonderful future awaits
It is time to wake up.
