CHILD SLAVERY
Fearn, Golspie Primary, , P7

 

It’s not fair,
I don’t like it.
It’s not right!
-It’s not fair to make children work,
I don’t like it
We need to learn.
It’s not right!-

We’re you’re future-
When you’re old and we’re in charge
You’ll see what we mean.
We won’t be doing it – right?

You’ll see what we mean,
We won’t be doing it – right?

You’ll have set a bad example.
Not all of us will be able to read or write,
And we’ll not be able to get jobs.

And then, of course, history will repeat itself.

So change it now-
Or we will lose hope of a good tomorrow.

Fearn, Golspie Primary, P7.
