Poem

West Kennet Long Barrow
Is The Place To Go
When You Pass Away
And Want To Get Down To The Floor


There are no trees around
That would have dropped leaves on ya
But there are some stones
That'll protect you from intrudas

When I first saw the WKLB
I was like"Oh my!  What can this be?"
I then started to get closer to it
I then saw a hole where a human body can be fit

I started digging, and digging
Looking for some treasure
I was gonna give, but then I found somethin
A human child's skeleton next to its motha

I was amazed of what I have just found
Piece of old history at my feet
I began thinking, and think of what I should do
"Maybe I should cover it up with some sheets"

I was excited
Didn't know what to do
Maybe I should call ma momma
Maybe she'll give me a clue

The WKLB
became constructed in 3600 B.C
Took 15,700 man hours to make
I bet the workers were baked (by the sun)

It's noted to have 46 burials
Ranging from Lil babies to the elderlies
Lying down there
With tombs filled with charcoal, bone tools, and beads

The WKLB ain't no joke
All time spent weren't wasted
The people buried ain't no originals
It is special

The WKLB
Known to be the place that has special death ceremonies
Was probably a very religious place for very religious people
Me and ma mamma be proud of my discovery.

2nd MRE class reflection

    What happens after we die?  When I saw this question I thought about the beliefs people from different religions that has the mindset of this certain thing that would happen to them in the afterlife.  What made them believe this?  This topic made me interested in people believe many different beliefs on what would happen if they passed away.  It's also interesting is that these people would do many violent and crazy things, for example: suicide bombing, thinking that they'll go to the afterlife they're aiming to go to.
