Diversity

Diversity

The brochure paints a beautiful picture
Of a plush and exquisite get-a-way
Lavish accommodations, and food
Beaches and art in a vast array

They seek to exploit all the virtues
As if no other issues matter
A dreamland of utopia
Just live for today, - forget the latter

In another brochure, there I see
A plea to help a hungry child
Basic essentials, food and drink
A place to shelter, them from the wild

A war-torn land of poverty
Many homeless, in the cold
Meager items, mean more to them
Than luxuries of silver and gold

Diversity, has always been rampant
It's been around in every date
Solomon's luxuries and his wealth
Or the beggar at the rich man's gate

At the foot of Calvary's cross
Everyone stands the same
Great are small, and small are great
When they gather, in Jesus name

I see how two brochures can conceive a thoughtful analogy and gIve birth to a beautiful, compelling write. Diversity reaches beyond this life...it all depends on each one's choice. A 7. :-)
