The Modesty of Greening

A Poem by Senior 3, Literature Class 2019

Above every create

Green exalts them all,

The glamour of trees, grass and flowers

The Pivot of a symbiotic living

Oxygen - Carbon dioxide give and take ratio

Ever more the same

Verily, verily Prudent

Prudent to nature the young to save nature.

High above the sky,

The eagle may fly,

Only to come back and perch on nature

As mating in flight, an impossibleity

And nests built on trees

Why endanger wildlife.

Through bush burning, swamp reclamation, deforestation?

Verily, verily Prudent

Prudent to nature the young to save nature.

Nature at its best

Serving mankind,

But man at his worst

Experimenting destruction

Global warming, cyclones, flooding— shall be

Adverse consequences!

Verily, verily Prudent

Prudent to nature the young to save nature.

Shall we fold akimbo our arms and look on 

As nature flights back?

Very no! Greening, greening and greening

Our very chorus to all nations

If humanity must thrive

Verily, verily Prudent

Prudent to nature the young to save nature.

ABOUT THIS PROJECT >

Greening Serere Township is an interdisciplinary, place-based STEM project developed by the science teachers of Serere Township Secondary School and Annalise Klein, a science educator in California, USA.

 

This project was designed to give students the opportunity to apply scientific knowledge to solve real life problems. Serere Township is an agriculture community in Eastern Uganda where soil erosion during the rainy season can cause destructive erosion and decimation of vegetation. 

​

Through scientific research, collaboration, and hands-on experiences, the students of STSS are developing real, creative solutions to their community’s problem.
