A poem like you've never heard

Hello guys!

Today James shared with us a paper with few poems. As I know you would like to read or hear more poems after reading these poems, I decided to share with all of you a poem that a woman read during a ted talks show. It's about war, peace, women, power. In brief, it's full of emotions and I hope that the peace-lovers that you are will like it. Just click on the link below to start enjoying, maybe crying (for the persons who are very sensitives).

Of course my students are invited too... but don't come on Friday! Saturday or Sunday afternoon is fine!  By the way, the 57 bus stops in front of my door... (the "rue d'Arcueil" bus stop) otherwise it's 10 minutes from the back exit of the RER Gentilly.
