I take up my duty
when I read to children
about Pippi Langstrømpe
she who has been
all over the world
and seen many things strange
who walks on her hands
the way they do in Farthest India
and backwards
the way they do in Egypt
and lies in the manner of Congo
where there is not a single person who tells the truth
it is my community project
to reveal
to children
the wonders of the world
and for myself
it is paramount
to consider local impact
when schooling the world
