Dream Leaders Non-Violence Poems
The following poems were created by our Dream Leaders as part of a Scavenger Hunt during Give Back Spring Break 2010.
Song For Peace
Stop violence in the community, let’s focus on unity.
The world does not have immunity to CHANGE!
Remember the words of Dr Martin Luther King.
So, that peace, dreams, and justice ring and the youth of our nation’s cities will bring
We are the youth singing the song for peace.
Make Things Right
We don’t have to solve problems with violence.
We don’t have to fight. All we have to do is reunite.
Violence gets you nowhere in life.
Dinner is the only time you use a knife.
Kids have the power to make things right.
Make the World Greater
Violence is not cool because it gets you out school.
You lose an opportunity to get you a college degree,
And you wind up in the penitentiary.
You hurt the people you love like your mom and dad.
Now, you got them all feeling mad and sad.
If you get out later on good behavior,
Change your life and make the world greater.
