Opinions

Invisible barriers do exist
Dividing fresh water from the sea
Or the living from the dead
Perspective between you and me.

Some they see the sunset
As the starting of the dawn
Others see fresh drops of rain
As a time to be forlorn.

Those that see in black and white
Others see in grey
Now try the world in colours
Each opinion a tinted ray.

Celebrate diversity
We can’t be all as one
Learn and teach each other
Fewer wars will be begun.

Thanks for the visit Eileen. Not sure if it was the best metaphor, but I do see diversity as multi-colour/cultural rainbow to be celebrated.
