Dawn Raids Poem

For my third History/Geography task. I had to make a poem about Dawn Raids or Migration. I did a poem about Dawn Raids. We had to include metaphors & similes which was quiet easy to do.

Dawn raids

I woke up & all I heard was a bang from my front door

I was too scared to answer cause I never knew who was there

I look at my phone & it was only 5:00pm

My mum comes back from work at 6:00pm

So from that time I knew something was wrong

That bang kept ongoing as if that person needed to change their undies

I opened my bedroom door

And before I was going to look who was it

Someone grabbed me with strong grip from behind covering my mouth 

Without knowing who it was

I was frightened as if I was gonna die at that very moment

Then a whisper saying “ Shh be quiet, it’s me Jackson your cousin”

I was relieved

But the bang was getting louder & I couldn’t resist it so I went to open it

My cousin was trying to hold me back but I managed to get out

As I was getting closer

Then all of a sudden the sound went away

I was shocked because why would the bang just go away that fast

I was still standing in front of the door

And was thinking & thinking then...

BOOM! The backdoor opened 

Tall black figures armed walking around my house 

Grabbed me & my cousin & chucked both of us in a black dirty truck

I was crying as if my mum past away

I was shaking like a person that was shot to death

Why me? Why now? Who did this to us?
