Different--Repost For Dg

We look for acceptance in the things we do We are all different in the way we perceive I am who I am and so are you We can live together if we believe See that kid with the purple hair He sure is different, can't you tell If we can't accept him and show we care Then we are the one's who should rot in hell See that girl, she's only fourteen Pregnant already, for goodness sake If we don't love her and we treat her mean We will lie in the bed we make See that girl with the dragon tattoo She sure s different, isn't she When she gets put down, she feels blue So I guess she's a lot like you and me Children all should know their worth They should all have their own dream Each one is different from the day of birth Each will struggle with their self-esteem Too many times we look but do not see We instill a sense of fear They are different than we would have them be So we listen but we do not hear. A time for change!!!

Wow Vince I just saw this? Yes it's time we learned we are not the judge of what best and right and good for everyone, each person decides that for themselves! Luv's Ya and happy Spring!

Great work Vince, so true that we have to show love to those reaching out and how boring the world would be if we all were the same.. You said this well with rhytmic flow.

Yes Vince you are correct. Just as one may use big fancy words to tell you what they think of your write. I do not have or know what these words are. See I am different also but I try. I have been judged before for my comments even told what I should have said. Sad so sad to do your best and then be put down. Outstanding Write Vince. Sorry I babbled on. Love, Carol

Wolves will exclude a member so many times he becomes the leader of the pack. There is a type of brain disfunction that if not treated causes some people to do these different things or some are trying to differenciate..become. Accepting can be hard on people who are "normal" however, it can be done. Nice way of putting to pen your thoughts about this subject. Sara

I love your poems that teach more and more about acceptance...to look beyond the "dress code"...look into the heart of the person.. always well said in your poetry!
