A Poem A Day
We, children of the universe,
declare no more wars so
fewer children are orphans.
We, children of the world,
suffer because we
worship big mysteries.
We, children of the poetry,
have the power to
right wrong.
We children are the future,
and we hold destiny
in our hands.
We can change the future.
