'Hope for the Future' by Rocky T age 16 from Spain
|
 |
|
Blue Skies of Hope
|
Our world is full of sorrow and pain. Everybody knows about Pandora's box. How despair, disease, distress and other horrors flew from the captivity of the box to infect the world. Although people know this story, they continually overlook the ending;
Hope.
Hope was the last to leave the contents of that wooden chest that humanity had unleashed upon itself. Hope stayed behind to comfort Pandora before floating away to bring love, peace and joy to Earth. Hope still resides in the world, in the ground, the air, us, even dwells in the future... More

'The Security of a Fan of Crimson Petals'
|
The Security of a Fan of Crimson Petals She stands alone, and we stand with her. Like a phoenix, hope rises from the ashes of despair. In her small shadow, innocence is reborn in a moment. A bloom discovered among the cinereous remnants of a city is us as we rediscover ourselves.
Roots that hold firm in the foundations of faith support a stalk of hope that grows ever higher until reaching the security of a fan of crimson petals. In these petals are the answers to age old conflicts and misapprehensions which have hindered man... More

'Our World'

Peace

I wish the world were peaceful,
I wish the world were calm,
I wish we could be in harmony,
Instead of this anxiety.
I wish there was no war,
just like it was before...More

'Estote Parati'
|
|
|
What I say now may be elementary,
Once man unravels time and its mystery.
We travel to the past by memory,
Imagination creates what our future will be.
Delve in the theories of the human minds,
Is it heaven or hell or in between the lines?
Push to one direction, a radical turn,
We see this paradox, a great concern.
We have explored it almost endlessly,
How we can change the course of history.
Kaleidoscopic the world seems to be...

'Bright New Future'
|
 |
|
Eternal Love
|
The world is a stage, on which we all take part,
Our lives the performers, our emotions, the art,
Endless dramas of the lives we led,
Worried about living until we were dead.
In your deep crystal eyes I see my soul,
We have always been one and now we are whole,
For the old world has died, everything new is pure,
With friendship and happiness, all things we adore...

'Ma che le valutino per quello che Sono' by Lorenzo age 13 from Italy

Peace

Lorenzo
Salorno 27/04/2005
Un mio desiderio per il futuro è che non ci sia più
la gente non valuti più le persone per chi sono se
sono nere, gialle o bianche, se sono alte o basse, se sono bionde o castane,
se sono giovani o vecchie, ma che le valutino per quello che sono .
Spero che questo mio desiderio si avveri.
