Unknown Place - by Abi Adeniyi, age 12

Surrounded by a lot of people

Curious about what is going on

I look around and wonder

Questions filling my head.

I say to myself

What is going on?

Where are we going?

I wonder.

I ask Mum What is happening?

People with guns

Taking us to this unknown place

Everyone with their hands up,

She just sighs and says It will be ok.

I’m scared, afraid

Of what’s going to happen

At this unknown place,

I want to cry but hold it in

I close my eyes

Wait,

Hope,

Wonder.
