I vote @katrina-ariel for president of the world! (But only because I know that with those views she will be leading from among us! ;) )
I love the line "let the children shine" - I am a firm believer that the way our society has been set up, the way we are "supposed to" educate and raise our children is oppressive, controlling and unfair. I think one of the best ways to move society in a direction of positive change would be to completely change the way schools work and to parent from empathy and respect instead of control and rules.
I really love your poem! It should be a creed for social change!
What a nomination, I'm honoured! I'd be a horrible politician, though. I'm too honest and often don't know when to keep my mouth shut, but transparency is a good thing, right? It would be lovely if the dirtiness of politics could shift to respectful diplomacy. I see it happening in some places in the world, and on smaller scales, so hopefully we're on the right track.
^^ Yes!
Thank you for the lovely comment!!! 💖
🤗 Transparency is good! Too many politicians are playing under the table..
It is a start, just unfortunately very unlikely that we’ll see the changes in our lifetime!

Just puts into perspective how much control the people we call leaders have over us and how effective it is been for their plan for capitalism and consumerism...

You would change the way it educates its children.”
