Rhymed Reflections on Humanising Language Teaching
The Right to Peace: A World of Responsibilities for Humankind
Humanising Language Teaching
calls for many-a-deep-quality
Humanising Language Teaching
calls for communicative dignity
Humanising Language Teaching
calls for crosscultural sensitivity
Humanising Language Teaching
calls for empathic creativity
Humanising Language Teaching
calls for learner-centered amity
Humanising Language Teaching
calls for human rights-based flexibility
So much has been said about Peace as a human quality
but defining it precisely is such a formidable task
because as a Human Right, Peace is embedded in Dignity
and of Peace, Human Dignity has so very much to ask
To have world peace, how can we create communities of tranquility ?
To enjoy world peace, how can we fly above clouds of public insecurity?
To sustain world peace, how can we prevent/reduce all forms of lethality?
To educate for world peace, how can we prepare citizens for relational dignity?
The family of Human Rights, the Right to Peace can epitomize
for it is needed individually, collectively, and universally
The Right to Peace as the deepest transformation let’s recognize
and educating to dignify LIFE will be implemented planetarily
Why will the Human Right to Peace be the most difficult to achieve?
Because of the world of responsibilities found therein
How will we show that in the Humanizing Right to Peace we believe ?
By soulfully nurturing the power of Peace that is within
