I didn't speak out, Emily Kneller
Poem by Emily Kneller, Year 8
They were captured,
But I didn't speak out.
There were taken,
But I didn't speak out.
They were sold at auction,
But I didn't speak out.
They were battered and beaten,
But I didn't speak out.
They were left to die,
But I didn't speak out.
May be...if I had spoken out
I wouldn't be...
at the bottom
of
the sea.
