Found Poem

In Language and Literacy class today we made "found poems," an exercise where you take snippets of another author's words to create your own work of art. My classmate Kimela (see her blog here) and I created the following borrowing the words of Paolo Friere and Bryan Stevenson. 

Knowledge re-invention
In this Restless world
Can only be changed if the narrative changes
Rich and guilty
Poor and innocent
reconcile the poles of contradiction
Education must begin with the solution
obviate thinking?
That’s ivory tower isolation,
the narrative changes
but only in communication.
Relationships,
no docile listeners,
just critical co-investigators in dialogue together.
