Les 3e LCE s’essayent au slam avec un message PUISSANT !
A l’issue de leur travail sur la séquence United colours of Great Britain et à la manière du poète britannique Benjamin Zephania, les élèves de 3e LLCE de Mme Letuffe ont écrit des slams sur la thématique des voisins / neighbours.
Listen up !
NEIGHBOURS
Goodbye foreigners, go back to your country,
Hello neighbour, I was born in your city,
It’s guys like you that steal our jobs
I’m the one who cleans your office.
Goodbye foreigners, why have you eaten my cat ?
Hello neighbours, don’t worry about your cat, I am a vet,
Have you no shame sending your children to the factory ?
My child is a friend of your son at school,
Goodbye foreigners, stop stealing my shoes you already have
your babouche,
Hello neighbours, I am a policeman and I only wears vans,
Get out of the plane you’ve already done enough,
I don’t even own a plane,
Hello mate, how about you came over for dinner ?
Hi, I’ll bring some fish and ships !
Hello, I’ll bring tea.
How about I bring the dessert ?
NEIGHBOURS
I’m black and I’m someone who plays sport .
Negros, monkey, f…
* black… !
I hear them every day, every night
They are my nightmares.
I want to be respected in sport.
Only the ball respects me.
When I score, nobody congratulates me.
We are in the same team
Let’s play with equality.
Welcome sport without brutality.
In sport we share our values and friendship.
Everybody in the team has their own principles.
Will power and staying positive are very important too.
Team work and perseverance are the keys to a good spirit in the team.
In sport we learn respect.
We don’t reject others.
In sport we work on perseverance .
To be strong and united.
You can’t play if you reject black, Asian and other people.
Everyone can play and love football.
The sports gathers the origins, skins colors so …. Stop football racism!
NEIGHBOURS
We arrive with hope
Fleeing wars, misery and hunger
We cross borders, ocean and mountains
To find a better world a clearer light
Respect is the basis, the key,
The one who allows fraternity
Respect for tradition, for our elders,
To prefer romance to violence
Tolerance is seeing beyond skin and beliefs,
It means listening to others, without judgement or violence ,
It’s understanding that our differences are a strength
A rainbow of cultures, a world who changes
Jamaica, more than an island, a heritage
A call to unity, wisdom and sharing
Its origins are not hidden, but proudly displayed
For it’s in diversity that we find our unity.
Mixity must be integrated to get along
Live together for a better world
Become brother with a stranger
Our friends don’t have to be white, there aren’t any races
Offer a spicy cake to your neighbour it may be the beginning of friendship.
NEIGHBOURS
They live next to you
They have emotion too
They aren’t that different from you
They are living beings too
You can be friends with everyone
Whatever their skin color, origins or religion
You can trade with foreigners and share
You should care
You should be friendly with them
You are just like them
They could be your best friend
A friend who would be like a brother
But better
Your differences will bring you something new
Will bring you knowledge from eachother’s culture
We are together to fight
Day and night
No more loneliness
More happiness
More celebration
No more exclusion
NEIGHBOURS
Don’t become a threat for anybody
And show your solidarity
Don’t use violence
And favour tolerance
Don’t make him suffer
Treat him like your brother
Don’t use violence
And favour romance
If you have pain
Don’t become nasty
He doesn’t want to cry
And suffer all the time
Don’t make problems
And bring peace
When you feel the pain
And you are rejected
Because of your difference
When you began to fear the tear
That brutality makes you a bully
If someone kicks you
Don’t keep it for yourself
My neighbours feel heartbroken
Because they are rejected
My neighbours feel sad
Because they are excluded
My neighbours want peace
But we give them hatred
Stop racism
And pessimism
Think generosity
We are all the same
We are human beings
Diversity is the power of this world
STOP the violence of racism
We are all the same
STOP violence !
For the best of this world
STOP violence
For peace between people
STOP violence
To stop the brutality
STOP violence
For the love of each other
