Poem
Excuse me, Excuse me, Mister Webster,It's my pleasure sir, so may I please have a moment of your time? See sir, Our teacher has asked us to define. So out comes your book, holding the pen on the line. I opened to section D and looked up Diversity, was stunned from what it read on page 393.With bold black letters you stated: It is different, not the same, just unlike. How simple it seemed. Not putting any emphasis on how it affects the brain,causing such a fuss. Starting with: age,gender, race, religion,economics, and where you living. It's your very being and for some it owns their hearts and minds. Diversity describes how each of us begins our very lives. Remember it took two to create me and you. It defines the value of all life and what we understand of our own sigficance. Whether you are Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Muslim or Jew. The very same thing that makes you different makes you the same. That there is a universal divine, who established a moral code. For you to determine what's wrong or right, while in the same group no one sees anything the same. Since we are talking about the inner self. Did you even bother to look at what the statistics said for 2004? That the ages of the convicted for hate crimes range from 11 to 65. And the victims range from 4 months to 74. That in L.A. alone from 1994 to 95, 1,459 hate crimes were committed and only 5% were members of a hate group. How in 1990 all sophomores classes were made up of 3.9%Asian, 10.1% Hispanic, 12.5% Black, 1.2% American Indian and 72.3% White, while uniting them for their goal of their human revolution. That by the year 2056 the average United States resident will list their ancestry as African, Asian, Hispanic, or Arabic but not White European. How we have to have Statistics to count our very differences.. Diversity creates laws to keep us from making a Fuss. So Mr. Webster, Can you help explain, How people are judged for who they love, who they are, what money they have or how the same people may agree on the same thought , action or word,While each arriving to that conclusion from our own crayon box.Mixing colors and brands. Creating Mona Lisa's and Van Gogh, inspiring Michael Angelo's, while allowing Robert Frost to express his very thoughts. But most of all Can you explain, How something so simple could effect who we are and What that really means?
