River Talks 2018

My name is Milan….

This is a Spiritual Poem - please shut your eyes…

Imagine a life - by Milan

Imagine a life of death, dark and gloom and parts around you perishing inside,

Imagine a heart being clogged up with shame, that can’t pump it’s power and fame.

Imagine a life where the spirits have been wasted, even when I die, it’s been destroyed. 

Imagine a life where you’ve tried and tried, but at the end, you’ve faded away. 

Imagine a life where you were born yesterday, and you die today. 

This poem is about stopping people from littering in the river. 

Littering is bed for the the environment

Imagine if you were born today and you die tomorrow...

I wrote this poem while plaiting this rope. The rope symbolises 

Reducing

Reusing

Recycling

AND 

Upcycling

It’s Companies, 

Businesses and Factories.

They need to Stop Dumping Their Crap! 

And the Government - Parliament and Councils

need to STOP GIVING THEM PERMISSION! 

We need NEW LAWS

To STOP destroying our river spirits. 

So I want to see action 

from our government 

NOW!

Thank you for listening

• A Chopping Board : that was made out of old houses in GI that are being destroyed by Housing New Zealand
• and Bags made out of scrap materials from curtains and old materials.
