The Calling
written by Alexa Zielkowski at age 11
Hear the voices calling,
Calling from above.
Hear the voices calling,
Kindness, difference, and love.
A new trend has occurred,
It has swept all the nation.
It consists of violence, anger,
And new protestations.
But this is not the right
Solving declaration.
If you listen close, listen right,
You can hear the voices calling day and night.
Pleading for a change,
Something to occur.
What we need right now is to love one another.
Together, every sister and brother.
It starts with you; you can join the change.
Take moving, humble steps.
There is no need to restrain.
Be different, be kind,
Take a stand.
There’s no need to be fierce,
We’ll stand hand-in-hand.
And though it may take time and work,
We all must take a moment to listen.
Hear the voices calling,
Calling from above.
Hear the voices calling,
Kindness, difference, and love.
