A poem for young kids to learn and see,
With big words that may be new to thee,
But don't worry, just listen with glee,
And soon you'll know what they all mean to be!

Economics is all about trade,
Buying and selling, how much we are paid.
The Taliban is a group, we must avoid,
They cause trouble and make many people worried.

A committee is a group of friends,
Working together until the very end,
To make decisions and solve a bend,
And make things better, again and again.

A foundation is like a strong base,
Built with care, to help others in place,
And make the world a better space,
For everyone to live and grow with grace.

A diploma is a special degree,
Earned by working hard, you'll see,
Proof that you've learned and grown to be,
Smarter and stronger, as you'll soon agree.

Physics is the study of how things move,
Like planets, stars, and objects we groove,
And physiology is how our bodies improve,
To keep us healthy and ready to groove.

Controversy often leads to a fight,
People disagree on what is right,
But with peace and love, all is bright,
And we can make things right.

An engineer is one who builds and creates,
Designing and constructing, their skills are great,
Making things that make life better and safer,
For everyone to enjoy, now and later.

A pacifist is one who loves peace,
And works to end violence, they never cease,
To promote love and kindness, with ease,
And make the world a better place, with peace.

So there you have it, some words to know,
Big and important, they'll help you grow,
Into a smart and knowledgeable show,
With a love for learning, and always on the go!
