Sarah Barsky
The poem, written by an 8th grader, is in response to the recent violence in Paris.
Floating blue planet someday we will learn to be together when we come above ideas of nation we will move to the rhythm of eternity if we look out
To the delicious colors of the earth the water becomes clearer invisible blue the ground cleaner pale and dry the sun brighter the light echoes in every heart
Every heart becomes one nation we become one nation despite the differences in the world
We are together as one in the nation the trees parks benches and people deep inside the people there is kindness that develops into a nation we will learn to be together as a nation without borders
