This week for writing we had to do a poem Including Ngai Tahu and the life that we live now. I was exited to learn about this work and I hope you like it! here it is!
Over 800 years ago
Riding the optimistic ocean
Upon a waka ancestors find their homes
How the times have changed from 1220
“Crash” a tragedy has awoken, the ground is rumbling
The people started stumbling to the thought of their beloved home being destroyed as the memories start to fade away,
Black and white is all we see nowhere to run
Stunned as they showed their emotion for endless
hours
Ngai Tahu didn’t see what was coming next for the future
Population for it was covid
This time we couldn’t get away from it
The world was shut down no where to go except for your homes.
Otautahi is stronger than ever facing tragedies left and right but we all are strong together so we are no longer afraid of things we cannot control.
