Project Description
Students composed thoughtful poems coupled with unique expressions of art to address the future of our shared planet.
Word from the Changemaker
We watch as the leaves blow in the breeze
And the skies suddenly grow dark.
Somewhere else there is a freeze
And the weather continues to make its mark.
They say nothing gold can stay,
Which, I suppose is true.
But these patterns will make us pay
For all the damage we continue to do.
Despite the ever-approaching doom,
Us together can still repair our land.
With small steps and pushes well get past the gloom
And through the troubles we can withstand.
And the skies suddenly grow dark.
Somewhere else there is a freeze
And the weather continues to make its mark.
They say nothing gold can stay,
Which, I suppose is true.
But these patterns will make us pay
For all the damage we continue to do.
Despite the ever-approaching doom,
Us together can still repair our land.
With small steps and pushes well get past the gloom
And through the troubles we can withstand.
