Notes About The Poem

I have a respect for people, including Natives. Like the rest of us, people of different ethnicities, want and ned acceptance. And everybody has an occassional need of something, that is not easily identifiable. Plus, it's true what the title of the poem says.

People 
By 
J. A. Long

People are people regardless of 
Ethnicity and history 
Even in feeble steeples 
During the Christmas season
Which is the coldest time In America

People are proverbial birds
In need of proverbial seeds
But are not interested in searching 
For those seeds which are at proverbial bird feeders
 
People are all somewhat different
Some are friendlier than others
And some are more accepting than others
Even at Christmas time-be open to them
