To kick off the new year, Avondale-Logandale 5th graders wondered which is more important: questions or answers? We also wondered what makes us rich? Family? Gold? Money? Hard work? Wisdom? Students read Naomi Shihab Nye’s poem, “Who’s Rich?” before writing their own poems. Enjoy!

How did this world get like this?
Jocyana C.
There are millions of questions I have
But this one is important
How did this world get like this?
Was it the people who really did this?
Or was it our greed inside of us?
This world is bad
I will tell you that
Why can’t it be better?
Why do people steal or kill
Why can’t our world be peaceful?
I know the answer
It is our greed inside of us
The power we think we have
We are not wise at all
But I know to be mature
I know to be good
If only

If only there was a way we could see each other on the 25th of December.
If only I could see that rainbow once again. If only I could fly into the air on the soft silk clouds.
If only I could fly into the air on the soft silk clouds that are soft as a cat.
