Start Seeing Diversity

Diversity is how people differ
It affects each one of us
It might make some people quiver
And really drive those nuts

But if you look deep inside
About the discomfort, trauma and bias
It could make you cry and feel pride
About how these people abide it

Thoughts and negative feelings about the ones around
Really hurt the world and diminish our society growing
It’s time to strike down
And educate the unknowing


Believe in each other
And help the world feel love
We are really the mothers and brothers
To send out a diversity dove

  1. Abigail, I enjoyed your poem. It would make a great Bob Marley song! It has the effects of making you smile and tear up at the same time. I also believe our society needs to see that negative feelings have quite an impact on our world and we do need to educate those who don't know. Thank you for sharing!

  2. Wow, your poem was great and touching. We as a society do need to think before we speak and stand up for each other. If we don’t start caring for others around us then our society may very well be doomed! We must change the way things are now before it’s time for our children to take over or there will not be anything left.
