Volume 2: Issue 2
By Sagal, age 12, CA
I am Sagal
I am polite and kind
I wonder about my future
I hear a horse cry
I see New York
I want to have a good life
I am polite and kind
I pretend I am a princess
I feel a great place above me
I touch the summer grass
I worry about my future
I am polite and kind
Hi Sagal,
I am Sami
We are practically sisters
We are practically family
A little older but I am reflection of you.
When I was younger I too
used to worry about the future.
But I stopped worrying
and started focusing on the present.
You sound very pleasant.
Continue to be polite
and continue to be kind.
In this life you will find
that you have a lot to discover
Learn and uncover.
New York is the Big Apple
but there are other fruits to see.
When you are older you can travel overseas
and enjoy sun, sand and sea.
There is no need to pretend to be a princess
cos you are a queen.
There is no need to worry about future
and places you haven’t been.
To have a good life
you must continue to surround yourself with good.
Maybe in the future you will go to New York
and leave your neighbourhood.
Continue to be polite
and continue to be kind.
In this life you will find
that you have a lot to discover
Learn and uncover.
—Sami Rhymes, spoken word poet and author, London, UK
