poems about racism and the environemt
 
I need your help for a school activity. Does anyone know any poem/poems about slavery or the environment for teen students, with only 4 years of english language study?
We are going to develop a poetry session, with students reading poetry connected with these two themes: racism and the environment. In this session we also want to have music as a background and power points.
I have already discovered a few songs (one or two) but I don�t find any good poems for this level. 
Please...help me!

How about Gimme Hope Joanna by Eddie Grant. You can read about Joanna (i.e. Johannesburg) on wikipedia, i think. I did the song when doing South Africa and apartheid.

Bob MArley�s song "Redemption Song" would go perfectly to suit your needs.

If his original version doesn�t strike you as good, you might want to look for Chris Cornell�s on Youtube.
