FEELINGS FROM THE HEART
by Victoria Fallas (aged 13)

I have to complain
It's got to be said
The Stansted expansion is WRONG
Where I live is beautiful
The runways are too long

The trees and the fields
The birds and the beasts
Are all part of my childhood
To take this away
To concrete my life
The prospects aren't good

I do use the airport
It's well run, I can't deny
But to say I want even more planes
Sorry that's a lie

It just too sad that so many homes
Will be crushed and trashed
The government are never happy
Their decisions far too rash

So take heed
And listen well
This shouldn't go ahead
If it does the life and soul
Of Essex will be dead
