Is There A Future for Us?
--- Napthali fernando (11 years old)
Is there future for us?
Whether children or grandpas,
Or monkeys or donkeys.
But is our time fading away,
Like a distant life?
Mothers and fathers, grand parents too,
Give your children a future that gleams.
Technology and gadgets are very cool,
Still, the life in the past was extreme.
Rapidly rising global warming,
Can roast you like a turkey and bring instant death.
The past does have dangers too,
But not the fear of burning alive.
Don’t panic because it’s not too late,
But hurry before we reach our fate.
Recycle all the things you can,
Save energy and use less.
Pick up litter as much as you can,
Make compost and grow more plants.
Now, you might think you’ve considered all,
Recycling, saving and using less energy,
But have you considered internal things?
Friendship, kindness and love.
We are all different, no matter what!
Even twins, though by a tiny spot.
We are all equal, all through,
Don’t think different, think again.
Racism, sexism are all to blame.
Fights and quarrels will break the day,
Misery and grief will be coming your way.
But if you have friendship, kindness, love and smiles
You will have an Earth that’s peaceful and divine.
So are you up for this big challenge?
A challenge to save our beautiful world.
Make a future!
Make more time!
All these things are not simple,
But we can do it.
Each one of us needs each other,
We will be one family!
So, together we will save our planet
And cherish it, forever!

我喜欢小孩写的东西,也喜欢童话。
小孩是天使。从环境到心灵,都要清洁。写得多好啊。
这是我们教会另一个小孩写的诗,她长得漂亮极了。
她同意我登她的名字。

今天早晨跟人聊天,说滑雪季就结束了,雪场生意不容易。这还是三
月中嘛,要不是两周前雪暴,估计雪季二月底就结束。又有人说东河
水位可能上涨,这不就是Global Warming? 小孩担心得有理。
我也在担心未来,比这小童担心得远。比如,下辈子怎么办?是修行
断轮回,还是投身富贵之家。贫民窟的百万富是不现实的:)

I don't quite know how my poem ended up here, but thank you for kind comments. I am still writing poetry, hoping to raise more awareness. :D
