Surviving

By Tamilla, Year 8

Memories 

History 

Traditions 

The screams 

The cries

The hurt of the past

No matter the attempts to erase us and silence us into fear, 

Our culture still lives on 

Our traditions stay strong

The song birds continue to sing

As we listen together 

We march as one, alongside our ancestors 

We hold the party, in the name of respect 

To remember all the sorrow

To remember our community 

And who we are
