[ALL WE COULD BE]

it could be calming:

vines clinging

to the walls

of houses

water trickling

in thin

streams

it could be lively:

children chasing

each other

sticks in hand

feet pounding

against the road

it could be warm:

a warm

crisp breeze

tousling the

hairs on

your head

it could be colorful:

flowers growing

on the road

in front homes

shops

schools

we could be beautiful

we could be peaceful

we could be wonderful

we can protect all we have

WE CAN’T WAIT ANY LONGER
