Together
By Kelsey Cashman
Seventeen goals,
To save our world.
Seventeen goals
To end the hurt.
No more hunger,
No more pain,
No more bowls
Empty of grain.
Quality schools
For poor and rich,
Helping everyone
To find their niche.
No more girls
Too young to be marrying,
Pulled out of school
To begin childbearing.
No more people
Out on the streets,
Trying to find work
But faced with defeat.
No more pollution
On land or in water,
Keeping the Earth
From just getting hotter.
All the world’s problems,
Solved by the goals,
But if we don’t work together
None will unfold.
A union of nations,
Together we’re strong.
As one we make changes
To right all the wrongs.
