POET LAUREATE
Colegio Granadino
Poem
Manuel Zuluaga
The event I chose for my poem was the Peace Treaty in La Habana, it is told from the perspective of the Colombian people. This event is really important for Colombian history because 50 years of war will finally end. I wrote in terza rima and at the end I used 2 rhyming couplets.
“Finally, Peace”
Today it will end
Just like in the old times
With this the problem will end.
With all the crimes
They have done we forgive
Putting together all the rhymes.
And we want to really live
Like the free fish.
All the bullets disappear
As if we were a side dish,
But we forgive and they continue
And they are really selfish.
Ans Santos is our hero
A Superman precisely
He could have taught us jujitsu,
But taught us peace nicely.
And now there’s peace
Uribe did acts unwisely.
Santos made big steps
And we sleep well
Without passing out receipts,
He taught us to do peace.
