Våga brinn klart. Våga dansa din egen dans.
Min dikt ”Rough Diamond” (oslipad diamant) är en hyllning till den del inom oss alla som ”inte passar in” men som kan förändra hela världen. Den är tillägnad mina elever:
Come – bad boys
refuse to be schooled
in the ways of death
Girls, refuse to be good
in the games they make you play
Outcast, reject, hopeless dreamer
Roadkill by the wealthy wayside
Rise up to the different drum
to unlearn there’s no place for you
Come – useless misfit
unable to trample
your brother in the fold
Dance – don’t do what you’re told
We’ll keep warm until dawn
Dance – don’t do what you’re told
Shake off the dust of the old
Come – rough diamond
You who are stronger
than all the bonds of gold
Dance – don’t do what you’re told
Keep moving, don’t fall
Dance – don’t do what you’re told
We’ll unfurl our banner
outside the city wall
