Ever feel bullied growing up? Or feel labelled even now? This Ted talk is part personal narrative and part multimedia poem. But it will resonate with almost everyone who has few hurt, confined and teased by the words of others.

Ok, so you’re probably Mormon and you know what we are and aren’t allowed to do. If you’ve spent time outside of Utah, though, you’ve probably gotten asked some odd questions about what’s allowed.

How do you find what you want in a future spouse? There are signs that he’s a good or bad person while you’re dating. Remember to look for a man that will one day help you get to the toilet.

Our First Draft poem today is by Kel Purcell .

Rubies on Sand

Lehi focussed on the heavens

On his staggered string of sons

Who fought and raised their voices

At what their father’d done.

But it’s Sariah who I wonder

When looking at the band

Since as woman of the household

She’d be casting rubies onto sand.

Which blankets best to take for now

Which precious left behind

Pushing linen into corners

For her’s and daughters’ times.

I hope that she had forethought

That flies didn’t drive her mad

That there was comfort in the holding

Of soft and thirsty rags.
