Song of Peace - Arif Khudairi

If we all

Belong to

One father,

And one mother.

If we all

Are brothers:

Yellows,

Blacks,

And whites.

Lady Macbeth's Confession - Neisha Tweed

Never mind thick night! Darkness move quick!

Madness engulf me like Jacob's coat;

colors tighten like sickness 'round me throat.

Wha it is do already can't tek back

but it still got me a wash me hand

til they sour and callus, de visions

plaguing de dark a me mind like locust.

Why is the child crying? - José Carlos Schwarz

Why is the child crying?

His body hurts

Why is the child crying?

He's tired of seeing blood

 

On the incompatibility of Pride and True Glory - Abu Alola

Think not, Abdallah, pride and fame 

Can ever travel hand in hand; 

With breast opposed, and adverse aim, 

On the same narrow path they stand. 

Nauru our homeland - Margaret Hendrie

Nauru our homeland, the land we dearly love.

We all pray for you and we also praise your name.

There is not only you - Dara Kanlagna

There lived a widower with her descendants

She is not anxious with any assistance

Day by day she does merits making

She thought there are no other mothers who can do as her

Legends of Time and Place - René Noyau

The stars are no longer lights,

They are faces that smile

Because the sky as well as my heart is clear.

Anne Frank - Heberto Padilla

In front of Cologne Cathedral

—divided by two black columns—

once more the children

are taking up their songs.

You are my song, my dark-blue dream - Velemir Khlebnikov

You are my song, my dark-blue dream

of doves, of winter's drowsy drone,

This is my country rising - Ernest Pépin

This is my country rising 

With the sun's luminous fist

It puts sandals of justice on its feet
