A World Of Diversity

A poem about the world's racial diversity

The world is a spicy pot of diverse races
that exhibits colours pleasant on different faces.
Each race revealing features distinct and unique
of varying hair texture but uniform physique.
Oh yes, you know undoubtedly that I am black.
But still my black heritage does not prestige lack
because my black beauty is revealed in the dark.
Oh yes, you all know that I am Caucasian white,
with my magnificent ocean blue eyes for sight.
I am blonde, brunette and red haired with fair skin light.
Oh yes, you know that I am oriental yellow,
having traits distinct that nature itself did bestow.
We look alike but vary from fellow to fellow.
Oh yes, you know I'm middle-eastern or Indian brown.
I adore my skin tanned and hair black as a crown.
I have a pleasant heritage of Asian renown.

Wouldn't it be a dull old world if we all looked the same. I like that we are a spicy pot of diverse races. Not a fan of anything bland. I would welcome the day though when we don't see colour first. When we are able to celebrate the things that really count in my book. How about kindness, love, tolerance, respect, understanding, empathy, compassion et al. So much more interesting than just colour. Pleased to read a poem from you. It's been quite a while since I read you. All the best.

Thank you very much Ms. Chris Shaw. I like your review. Sorry for the belated response, we have incessant power cuts in my country.

You are very welcome and I hope the power supply in your country becomes more reliable for you. Incessant cuts can't be easy. All the best.
