Read POEM:
There are many different children around the world,
some little boys and some little girls,
Different languages and culture,
But all have their peacocks and all have their vultures,
Finding beauty can be hard, before a lullaby makes a wish upon a star.
Earth you came and earth is the heart, remember all dreams are worth it with bits of work that
can be hard, your homework, chores, and other disciplines can get tough, and even parents
should be listening. Don’t cry little butterflies if they don’t, never worry about others who
won’t, with this lullaby you shall not only find rest, but this lullaby will help you through
many tests.
Although it’s different languages learning is important, learn these things ahead and you may
avoid the impulsive, reactions and words that you may say, may this medicine for a rainy day:
Yemojah, Yemojah, mizu’des, mizu’des
Eske nou tande mwen, Eske nou tande mwen,
Te amo, Te amo! (x2s)
English:
Yemojah, Yemojah, it’s water, it’s water
Can you hear me, can you hear me
I love you, I love you!

POEM:
The ice is gone, the seas are high,
But hey, at least your stocks won’t die.
The forests burn, the rivers choke,
And billionaires? They buy more coke.
They told us, “Recycle! Do your part!”
While drilling Earth down to its heart.The oil spills? Just close your eye...

POEM:
Faced with itself
humanity once again reveals its boundless capacity for destruction.
How hardened must our hearts grow
to endure the inhumanity we choose for ourselves?
The black clouds gathering in the east are more than a storm;
they carry the promise of a future... -

POEM:
Dear Young Joi,
Your body is not an apology…
Stop giving it away to anyone who tells you or tells you to feel sorry for or about yourself…Your body is not a toy…
Stop allowing people to play with it as children do, without instruction ...
