Changing the World


The world. 

What a beautiful place. 

Everything you see, everything you've known. 

Everything you care about is in 

the World.

so why not take care of it? 

please do not be selfless 

you live on 

the World

so why not take care of it? 

your children will live on

the World.

so why not take care of it? 

Please treat the World as if it were a real person

as if it were your child 

be kind to it, 

nuture it, 

and watch it grow. 

How, you ask? 

well, when you were a child, 

what did you need? 

in order to grow? 

You needed care, guidance, nourishment 

and so does

the World! 

Care. do not pollute, litter. respect the World. 

Guidance. guide the World to a better future. 

teach it to forget the past, learn from it, grow from it 

Nourishment. nuture the World. Feed it healthy things. 

 

I can do it.

You can do it. 

He can do it.

She can do it. 

 

We can do it.
