A world filled of violence
With wars, killings, thefts
Rebellions and clashes
Men fighting for power
For money, promoting the corruption
The social inequality, hunger and misery
A sad reality
That woke in this just 10 years old girl
The will of changing the world
In the news every day I see a sad report
I want to help those children
and those people that are hungry
For example in Syria, they are at war
There are children of my age that,
instead of having the opportunity to study, are at war
The small one considers herself a pacifist activist
She became news on UN page on the Internet
A poem and a video made by her
posted on the website of Rio+20
And the girl has even received
an e-mail from President Dilma Rousseff
She sent an e-mail, a request at UN website
Requesting a job at the United Nations,
it was a surprise for us
And then my wife received
an e-mail thanking by the thoughts
of my daughter Ingrid
through Itamaraty staff,
And she also received a appreciation
from the President of the Republic of Brazil
So we realized she's was being listened
For the good, thank God
Although she seems very young
to think about those social questions
This personality already follows
the Ingrid since childhood
We lived in a small farm and
when I was drying the clothes
She came and said: Mommy,
when I grow up I'm going to give home
and food to those who have none
I saw that and asked. How?
When I grow up I'm going to give home
and food to those who have none
I thought with myself,
for a child of 4 years to think so,
develop this type of thought is difficult
And she told me, No mommy,
that's what I thought in my bedroom
and there is what I will do
Since then fight against injustice became
a reason for the girl,
what she likes to do,
what she believes
Different from other 10 year old girls
Ingrid prefers to be most part of her time in this office,
Doing harmony,
listening to music
and posting your videos on the Internet
But for that she needs inspiration
Even with a pool in her house
What draws the most attention of this activist is this stairs
Where she sits to write songs about
Peace, love, union and environment
First I get inspiration with something
Then, when I have inspiration, I write
On the Internet or on a day-to-day
Little Ingrid practice what she believes
to be the solution to change the world
The girl studies,
strives and take a note of each
phrase that the teacher speaks
Disciplined student, participative
And with spontaneity demonstrates
this concern that she has to peace
With this planetary consciousness.
Ingrid believes she is in the right track
But she knows that she has a lot ahead
To accomplish her dream
I imagine a more green world
More sustainable
And also that people do not fight
And also that people do not fight
