Make A Calm Purple

I know that
you are
angry.

There is
a lot
to be
angry about.

But listen to
the stories
around you.

Like the one
about the teacher
you love.

How children
think she walks
on water.

She teaches that
red, white, and blue
make a calm
purple.

Your heroes
aren’t your heroes
because they acted
from anger.

Pay careful
attention to
your teacher.

Make
a calm purple.
