Best Diversity Poems

Here appears diversity and divisiveness --
Similar words with different meanings,
I must not allow them to come between
Those folks who exhibit different leanings.

Diversity is a good thing, expanding my mind
Divisiveness frequently foments contention,
While it seeks to enforce its firm beliefs
Often giving no opposing views attention.

Diversity must...

Diversity shines its light upon wisdom; it’s a sage sharing both world and eternity’s knowledge.  While cultures are facet of this diamond sage; each other displays knowledge; old and new building on the eternal book of wisdom; it must not be negated.

Millennia old worlds...

Beauty is said to be skin deep
cancer… a silent thief
chemotherapy has taken its toll

Her hair, once a river of gold
now flows onto the hairdresser’s floor

Placing a scarlet wig on her head
Sue looks in the mirror and smiles ...
she’d always dreamed of being a red head

Contest...

The world's grey. Slowly, methodically,
Feathers from colorful birds have been burned.
Sheep in a fog on a snowy mountain.
One man thought uniformity equaled
Superiority, ugly furor.
Their ashes floated down all around us
There's no color left in this sooty world.
Beauty's palette swirled with color beckons.
Diversity screams for a...

Unity in Diversity
We together as a nation
We can break the cycle of deprivation
We can put an end to this situation
We can get back Earth its sensation
Let there be cultural variation
Let there be innovation
New aspirations
And inspirations
Let there be useful creations
Let us unearth
Our true earth
Let's respect the...

Beauty In Diversity


A rose is a rose is a rose
and why is that? I suppose...
deep russet, bright red, pink delight,
cream, yellow, pure white to our sight...
home-grown, cultivated or wild
the fragrance, outstanding or mild.
In garden, bouquet or a vase
each rose is so sure to amaze.
A rose...

Your pins and needles adorn your face
your hair the colour of liquid grass,
your universe of hard knocks your grace
places you for me top of the class.

Love Knows No Diversity
Let us build an allied world built with peace
Where all are loved for who or what they be
A world that embraces diversity
No secrets to hide, no adversity.

A place where love is measured by one's heart
Not by who they have as their other...

The process of healing has its own time
We have a propensity to do it in different ways

Don’t rush people to move on with their lives
If they are still a work in progress

Their platform might be different from yours
Their process might differ from yours
Their healing and...

The westerners eat Amala and Ewedu
We eat Akpo and Ofe Nsala
They dance Juju and Apala
We dance bongo and atilogwu the beat of life.
T^he Northerners speaks hausa whilst we speak igbo
They married with no bride price and dowry 
But we marry with bride price and huge...

We each define ourselves
by choice of words we speak,
the things we do, or seek,
within our minds they delve.
We cannot say some elves
have tricked our minds when weak.

We can’t presume to know
so practice some restraint,
or make faux pas then faint.
To you my friends, I show
I care...

I was a daydreamer and stargazer, who eagerly awaited calm nights of glitter,
Like blue skies warily turning pink, plum and red, as orange sun sinks, bitter.

I grew familiar with diverse constellations, along the different astral avenues,
Vanishing in the pink dawn of golden, like perpetual lime...

Loud insistent dragons are pounding at my brick walls.
Bam. Bam. Bam. Bam. Bam. No walls now. 
These giant creatures have escaped, uninhibited, free.
In a happy, wicked slow walk, they approach the town.

Heading toward a communal meadow of unsuspecting villagers.
Children running out to greet them, recognizing...

Everyone is a blended mixture of
Elementals made up of 
Oxygen, carbon,
Hydrogen, nitrogen,
Calcium, phosphorus, and…
Trace elements
A divine recipe, perhaps?

Some are yet to be born
Some are young,
Some are old.
Some are people of color,
Some are people who lack color.
Some speak one language
Some speak many tongues.
Some are social
Some are...
