“I remember the death [of a] … man devoted to making [others] brave and dignified and good in a time when they were poor and frightened … How can we go on without him?” — John Steinbeck · (read more)
Build a better world with me
Here’s a poem I love from a collection of student poetry:
The tiger
— Nael, age 8
He destroyed his cage
Yes
YES
The tiger is out
Something I know: There are a lot of cages in the world. But, that doesn’t mean they have to all stay that way. I envision a world with better systems, better cities, better places for us to live and move and have our being. And I’m working to make it, a little bit more that way. If you are too, let’s connect, and work together!
His wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.— Maya Angelou, “Caged Bird”
