Unit Title: Animal Farm-Anatomy of a Revolution

 Samples of Student Poetry from "Animal Farm, the Reunion."


Napoleon and Fat Pig Squealer

 

My name is Squealer.

And I'm Napoleon.

I'm Napoleon's right hand man.

I do my job and keep things intact,

but sometimes things get tough and I can't help that.

My medals that are red

Animal Hero First class.

Stay with me until I'm dead.

I drink and lot and make decisions,

but sometimes I can't take it and encounter some collisions.

My lies are genius.

My plots are cool.

The only people that fall for them are fools

We pull the strings, cause we are the pigs.

We're all first class animals in these animal gigs.

Those mangy animals, they complain so much.

If it wasn't for us that farm would be dust.

Discipline is the way to run a farm.

It develops into a charm.

Why should we follow those animal rules?

Are we to be looked at as an organization of ghouls?

It's true those humans are good for nothing rednecks,

but if we put our talent together, the possibilities are endless.


Comrade Lightning Bolt

 

I am a dog,

a powerful dog.

I live on a farm,

an unusual farm

named Animal Farm.

I have a leader,

I must obey.

For any crime,

I must pay.

These are my comrades.

I'll help fight for them,

side by side till I die.

I shall not kill another animal,

that is our commandment.

I will not be considered like a human.

I have a great pride in this far,

that shall not go till I die.

Long live Animal Farm!
