London X

I wrote this poem about one of the most amazing groups of people i have ever met, and a group i am a part of, called London X. I wrote this with Shaheeda Bernard who is, in a word, FABERLOUS. We performed as the opening to a presentation to explain who London X are and what we are all about. It may not make a ridiculous amount of sense to you now but i plan on posting all my stuff done with London X on the blog very soon, so it will all make sense.

Welcome to all, thank you to all, grateful for the presence of all
Presenting to you 12 inspirational teens
Don't let these garms fool you, we're so much more than it seems
We are the London X

The definition of diversity
The power of originality
The strength of our communities
We are the London X

Now take the time to know us all, meet us one by one
Discover all the things we'll do and all the things we've done
Over here we have Chloe, so much more than a blonde
Next we have Fahad and his Barack Obama bond
Then we have Priya, little but strong
Don't forget Alom, the creator of our song

But wait, you haven't met Izzy or Josh
The cub scout leader and the boy who can squash
Any hesitation with unrivalled dedication
Jacob's got the intellect, Vishal has the brains
Hebaq's a sweetheart, Sheun never complains
