"I lived in the first century of world wars" is the opening line of "Poem" by Muriel Rukeyser (1913-1980) <span>an American poet and political activist. Her best-known poems are about social justice, equality and feminism. Her choice of words establishes her anti-war theme and her efforts to oppose war through her poetry:
</span>"Slowly I would get to pen and paper,
Make my poems for others unseen and unborn.
In the day I would be reminded of those men and women,
Brave, setting up signals across vast distances,
Considering a nameless way of living, of almost unimagined values."
She felt her poetry, which would outlive her, would be a message to those "unseen and unborn" who could work to promote peace and justice.
"We would try by any means
To reach the limits of ourselves, to reach beyond ourselves,
To let go the means, to wake."
Here Rukeyser was passing on the baton, as it were, to the generations "beyond ourselves" in the hope that they would be more purposeful peacemakers.
<span>Social media is, however, a good way to stay in touch with friends and family who live far away. But if we focus more on the people online than those who are nearby physically, or if we allow our friends who are in close proximity to become online friends only, then we have a problem. We can maintain those online friendships, but we should never substitute them for real friendships with people with whom we can talk and do things in person. Some in-person relationships may be difficult. </span>
The answer would be to first research the topic then make an outline, then make numbered note cards, then finally evaluate the material.<span />
