Don’t grow up
Zena Williams 2009 (Calgary)
The world strived on science
I strive on magic.
The what if’s
The what was
The what could be
We worship mother nature.
Snow white in the winter
We make fairytales with a printer.
But what if it’s true?
Maybe mermaids are real we just need a clue.
Teachers, Were daydreaming!
We’re done with learning!
We’re sick of the chemicals burning!
science isn’t all.
Let our imagination become raw.
About this poem
we tell kids to grow up when we all deserve to have a childhood this generation grows up to fast.
