School.
Let's talk about
A thing or two
School is glorious
School is cool
My computer lab
provides lollipops
I ate one and got inspired
I bought some more
Added vegan gum
I take a moment to say thank you
Tantalize that I can by lollipops
I have privilege
Heck, I am going to school
Around the world girls don't get the opportunities I do.
Globally 65 million girls are not in school, that is 33 million more than boys not in school
And here I am
Typing on an apple computer eating free lollipops
What will you do with your privilege?
Will you use it for good, and share the love
Or will you use it up on all of the material goods your heart desires
I try to have a balance in my life.
I buy lollipops, and donate to kiva
I eat vegan, and appreciate my clean water
And I know there is still so much more I can do
There is a book, a children's book
About a woman who has immense privilege
Her father gifted her money
And told her to use it how she wants, but she has to make the world more beautiful
So she planted flowers everywhere she went
And I want to do that too. I may have more seeds and opportunities for growth than others
And those seeds are precious, and not to be roasted and eaten.
They are to bloom
Grow
and create more seeds
spread the love and creation
I am embarking on a journey to try and create diversity workshops at my school
It is difficult, there is a lot of red tape
My family tells me not to yell at the tape, but say thank you for this lesson
And begin again.
