Diversity - Our Way of Life

We are born into the world of Diversity A school every mortal must pass through; it is the “Way of Life” University To graduate with a noble degree from this institution One cannot afford to live a life of isolation The Creator made them in his image different shades of black and white Truly they are all a wonder to behold and a sheer delight In hills, valleys, forests, islands and deserts can they be found From wherever they are, up above they see the same sea of cloud Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Paganism to mention a few Some of man’s attempt to know the creator, to know what is true These bring some form of order into our world They are like several streams of water flowing into the same sea; diverse paths to the same god Royalty, Technocrats, Aristocrats and Bourgeois Working Class, Artisans, Unlearned and Paupers These are classes of people in mankind’s social hierarchy They must all strive to coexist in harmony; lest there be great anarchy In our dressing, dance, norms and inventions we see the differences As we interact with other cultures, we observe the variances Over time, we tend to develop feelings of indifference, superiority or inferiority In all of this diversity, we all breathe the same air; this binds us in unity
