Winner of the PGS Leonardo Poetry Competition 2015

Abid Ali, Year 7, is the winner of the 2015 Leonardo Poetry Competition.

Greed is the main priority in life

And it would be completely foolish to say:

“We should help bring peace to the world”

“We should help one another”

“We should give to charity”.

In order to better ourselves,

Greed should continue in all of us.

An unwise person would only say

There is humanity in all of us.

For everyone, however,

Selfishness is

What we are full of,

Hope is

Not an option,

Giving up is

What we do,

Helping one another is

Insignificant.

None of us are

To tell the truth,

And this will be our future unless we turn it around.
