Poetry Contest for Chieti "I have a wish" by Elena Costa

I HAVE A WISH

I have a wish

It’s to understand the World

That’s a difficult thing to do

Without a big effort.

If we are all human

We have to learn,

Regardless of being European or African,

To treat one another in the same way.

So I can’t expect

I must act

And with your help

We can make it right.

We are talking about life,

The world and mankind

We are talking

About human rights.

So let’s put our hands up

Move our feet

If we really want it,

We have to take risks.

Justice or liberty

These are human rights

Be, believe or think

Just to stay alive.

I have a wish

It’s to understand the world

We could reach this

Together, with our work.
