"Our youth are the arbitrators of our success as a human race but if they are ignored, that future is in jeopardy. It is unfair to ask our youth to have to willingly inherit a world that adults are curating, without a voice in it. Young voices like Greta Thunberg prove that when provided with a platform, our youth encourage and foster change. Poetry has indelible healing power and has been used to work through peoples' innermost thoughts to gain clarity. It has enormous therapeutic powers when reading and writing it. It engages in partnership with our emotions, making it effective in connecting with our minds."
