POETRY SLAM - write a slam poetry about Adolf Hitler vs Martin Luther King. Finish with your own ideas of what makes a good leader or how you are going to lead others into your vision.

I'm trying to be a leader I have a vision you will see

Let's look at some leaders so help me please

Adolf Hitler

He was a leader killed six million jews

He started world war two put tattoos the jews

He took kids lives shouldn't have done that in my eyes

Got married a day before he died

Enough with these rhymes it's Martin Luther King Jrs time

Now Martin Luther King Jr he's a different type of guy

He skipped two grades was clever and reached for the sky

Born in 1929

He fought for civil rights so all Americans would have equal rights

Married Coretta Scott in 1958

Youngest to win a Nobel Peace prize

He was assassinated in Memphis Tennessee standing on his hotel balcony

Now my first vision is to be a leader of my community  

Helping little blue penguins and cleaning the sea.

My second vision to be the netball queen

And be the best center the world has ever seen

Thank you for helping me see what I want to be

In 10 years time you’ll me on t.v
