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
