Song......Runaway Train*1 (by Soul Asylum, from Runaway Train)
Poem..... Runaway Train (by Soul Asylum, from Runaway Train)
Picture... Please Come Home (by HardlyCore) and CRIS (by Suryodaya)
Reading..Guns, Germs, and Steel (by Jared Diamond).

*1) In the original video, vocalist Pirner made a special appearance to say, "If you've seen one these kids, or you are one of them, please call this number." Some of the featured missing kids, and others not featured actually came home reunited with their families. Britain's government modified the video, replacing the photos with their own lost children. Pirner's short message is omitted in the US version, but kept in the UK version.

As for 'speak a few reasonable words':
Nothing for today.
