      My World Lullaby - Gabrielle von Bernstorff-Nahat

      This poem is dedicated to the memory of

      Paolo Paolino

      He was a young indigenous defender of the

      Amazon Forest, who was unfortunately

      murdered by illegal forest loggers.

      His memory and embodied heroic actions live on!

      May all defenders for the wellbeing of this

      beautiful planet and world be safe.

      Preamble to My World Lullaby

      The world is in great danger, she is in tragic

      peril. The climate crisis is becoming more

      intense with each day and season, species are

      dying and imperialism and aggressive wars

      trouble countries and millions of everyday

      people, threatening their lives.

      All the more reason
