What is the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child?
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) is a legally-binding international agreement setting out the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of every child, regardless of their race, religion or abilities.
The hope, vision and commitment of world leaders in 1989 led to the Convention. It is up to today’s generation to demand that world leaders from government, business and communities end child rights violations now, once and for all. They must commit to action to make sure every child, has every right.


Gently.

Wrapped in red, orange and blue
The little baby in mothers arms
Tiny white jasmin growing in her garden
Mother Nature dressed in spring
From magic skies of mint
Every color spins new
In future clear as aquablue

Let Nature Embrace you
Gently
So gently

Life`s colors flow from gold to umber
In crocuses, Petunias
In Asters and in Pansies
A thousand shades of reds
In yellows and in brown
From Magic skies of mint
Every color spins new
In future clear as aquablue

May Nature Embrace you
Gently
So gently

Gently. Debra Buesking and Oddrun Eikli

Second floor, five a.m., flickers on the ceiling,
Walls hum silence, even shadows lost their meaning.
Curtains closed, no sun to blame,
Head is ringing — always the same.
Room smells like last night’s thoughts,
Drenched in echoes no one bought.
No footsteps, no name to call,
Just the ache and the ticking down the hall.

Was it always like this, or did I let it slip?
Dreams dried up like coffee on my lip.
The minibar’s full, the heart is not,
And the mirror forgot the face it forgot.

Pillow as a prison
Waking up without a reason
There is no point to get out of bed
Just keep laying and existing instead
No sunrise ever knocks on this door
Life got lost on the second floor

Cracks in the ceiling draw maps of nowhere,
Tried to follow, but there's nothing there.
The headache’s not pain, it’s a voice —
Saying even the void didn’t give me a choice.
The phone glows once, then fades again,
Another ghost, another end.
No messages, no fights to mend,
Just stillness playing pretend.

"I used to move, I used to feel..."
"Now I just float beneath what’s real..."

Pillow as a prison
Waking up without a reason
There is no point to get out of bed
Just keep laying and existing instead
My heartbeat’s slow, my time is mine
But freedom don’t mean a thing in decline

Pillow as a Prison
