"You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say." - Martin Luther
Our world is a wonderful place, full of life and beauty. It's where we live, so we all need to take care of it. One big thing we can do is be nice to each other. When we're nice, we make everyone's day a little better.
We should also be thankful for the good things we have. Like food, clothes, and people who love us. Being thankful helps us feel happy and good inside.
"With great power comes great responsibility." - Uncle Ben, Spider-Man
We need to think about how we treat the earth too. We should try to not waste things and take care of nature. This means not throwing trash on the ground, recycling when we can, and saving water and electricity.
When we take care of the earth, we're making sure it stays beautiful for a long time.
Another important thing is to try to understand how other people feel. We should help them when they need it and be kind to them. When we're kind and caring, we make the world a better place for everyone.

Despite the book-burning, slaughter, and epidemics that characterized the early stages of the Spanish conquest of the empires of Mexico, some hundreds of poems from the height of their tradition come down to us in Classical Nahuatl, preserved by Nahua and Spanish scholars of the 16th century. One of the most famous poets, Nezahualcoyotl, was a sage-king who opposed the cult of human sacrifice associated with Tezcatlipoca, God of the Smoking Mirror, and favored Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent. Flowers and feathers were the favorite offering of the Plumed Serpent. Moreover, flowers and feathers are a metaphor for poetry. Individual words, scattered petals, the down of tropical birds. The temples of blood sacrifice could be transformed into temples of flower and song. A sublimated offering to the Heart of Earth and the Heart of Sky encapsulated in the Classical Nahuatl kenning for poetry: in xōchitl in cuīcatl, meaning, "the flower and the song." The following poem is part of a longer work, and is in a state of flux, so take the waters as they flow:
