“To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.”
– Henri Bergson
It’s 2017 – we must, as a society, #unlearn hate, racism, evil, bullying, hurtful speech and cruelty! As we prepare for a new school year, where we in education get an annual “do over” – it’s nice to reflect on the need for us to help create conditions for a better, safer, pro-social world! In this blog post, I’m printing a poem from Robin Davis:
I Have Hidden Super Powers
I don't wear a cape around My neck, breaking the speed of sound Or capture bad guys in a web My powers have never fled From my heart that's where they stay Secretly until the day I see injustice come along Others are treated so wrong My super powers become stronger When I can't take it any longer Hearing stories of bullying My special skills kick right in Set loose, no holding them back My love alert goes on attack Not stopping for anything It won't ease up until I bring All this hatred to a low I give one huge final blow Across the land until there is No more hate or prejudice Until then, I'm on alert Making sure there is no hurt I will be here till the end All my powers I will send Into the hearts of those so weak Mild mannered, shy and meek That get pushed around each day I'll make sure it goes away This promise will be kept for sure Any kind of hatred I abhor
