People are commonly different
Symbol of diversity piece
Pure race doesn’t exists
Color and creed are just an identity
Believe only in human history
God sculptured them from clay
People are equally created
Having many opposites
But respecting others taste
When everyone is treated equal
Nothing appears but peace in hand
Discrimination, disunity and, suffering won’t be born anymore
Written to advocate to suppress racism

love, world,
Our ancestors shed their sweat
and blood fighting for liberty
So through the diversity of nations
We would not see destruction
nor weakness in our differences
But they fought,they gave their lives
so we could live to feel the calm beauty
the strength and harmony of freedom.
May we never lose that freedom
May we never trade it for Violence
Hate and Mediocrity.
Let not our anger,nor our voices
silence the unity of our homelands.
It is better to be us against the seven winds
than us against eachother
Because we are sons and daughters
of the same world.
We belong to the same mother.
We are sisters and brothers.

~ The creation is as white marble for our soul -
holy and without blemish ~ quote by poet
Her lips hum an aged love song
a virgin glowing intensely
Golden arches of lily of the valley
drinking from the river of silver
Whose strings are touched by the heart's secret
- what divinity with a visionary magic

The colours of life, love of my abstract mind
Bright and vivid, my thoughts intertwined
Tastes so crisp and sweet, what a delight
Fresh and new like pulled straight from the vine
Life is such a path with lots of twists and turns
You just never know, what you will learn
Flourishing us with beauty til the day is done
Or revealing us adversity, a challenge begun
Life is such an interwoven tapestry of colours
But worthy of value no matter how dark
Whatever the colours of your journey
They are what they are, your diversity of life!

Pure song of love - yours
In a melody
to faith and love
In man's one heart - a leader of divinely touch in love
Of heaven - a haven and bliss
Who saved his nation
Out of calamity of hate
And tyranny of race
Ruins and howl of dreary
To home of rainbow
In trance
Diversity in harmony
Of love the sun of morn
Honor in rise, honor and rise
The dawn stretched to hope
Mandela - an icon
In memory
His Images Still for hearts
For minds in doubts of dark
In Africa
for us - Mandela
Still - a dare star of hope
At horizons in haul of time

Light pierces the clouds
Solace found on dreary days
Living and sharing
As our Creator intends
Pure love, unconditional
All men are equal
Only perception differs
Listen to your heart
Find joy in diversity
Revel in mankind’s rainbow

A Poem Of Diversity
My love has been diversified
to enter in another world
of beauty alien to me
and filters change forever more
I left my bubble to explore
A culture of diversity
and gleaned the lore expansively
to find a rhythm to engage
romantic straits began my scheme
then overflowed to find my dream
and nowhere else could I conjoin
my talisman and love for her
I gazed back and recalled the time
her olive skin and ebon hair
a beacon that has beckoned me
to light up to a newer path
My latin lover tends to me
and I to her for decades past
we share our love extensively
and pray mañana never comes

There’s A New World Coming
I shall not allow the grip of grief to defeat me;
I shall accept her graciously—persevering,
bearing this child of love; and diversity
shall not split me from who and whose I am. Me.
Nor shall it cause me to scorn who and whose you are.
Adversity shall be as an egg shell
to the soles of my feet; and a wiping mat
there for; cleaner thereof.
The vast infinite universe is one in all its parts;
so are the mortal bodies of people-hood;
and we are the world; and the world us.
The flame of a new world beginning has been lit.
Over the horizon dawns love’s peace.
The hands of the clock of deliverance move forward.
There’s a new world coming.

Colors, divided as they come, but all are connected.
Languages, different as can be, but all for communication.
Love has different expressions, but is for making connections.

beauty,
The rose in my book
Both touch my heart
The song and the movie
No breaking apart
Tiny human bunnies
Aren't they adorable?
Memorable money
So invaluable
White is the new black, and day is night
Lets love them all and do not fight.

christmas, giving, gospel, imagery, jesus, memory, miracle,
Dazzled by the church this christmas time again,
So many services on TV, reverends saying when,
So many cards imaging the baby, angels, sheep,
Who were supposedly under god’s control, creep.
Pastors reading the bible to me, the sacred nativity,
Invites to carol services in the mail for connectivity,
Memories of protracted christmas eve meetings,
Where the gospel was also preached for musings.
But Father Christmas looms with love and cheer,
For everyone, every race, any nation of any gear;
And your diversity, if you’re a child, is respected,
By that adviser of gift choice, your one’s selected.

Wine is my Valentine
Intoxicated by its love
Diversity of my taste
such a warm embrace
You’re timeless, legal and `appeasable
Kiss my lips, tease my ****
chill or not to be chill
You have no race :just an acquired taste
you’re simply the best
You are my.... Valentine

Beauty is rose

Beauty is truth

Beauty is love

Beauty is bliss
in the mysteries of life
Beauty is peace

abuse, angst, confusion, crazy, grief, humor, introspection,
There's only one thing worse than a lawyer,
that's a failed lawyer, permanent chip, disaster,
then there's dubious sexual orientation, okay,
maybe Celtic, not capable of holding any sway.
You stayed, decided to stick things out today,
when it would have been better if you'd gone away;
we made love in the missionary position, ole',
should have expanded our horizons so they say.
I like worrying about trivia, I'm not tall,
it's bad if you have nothing to worry about at all;
I'm away on holiday in exotic locations,
avoid an entourage with dubious relations.
Then there's you, so smart, full of diversity,
the one thing worse in all this trauma is me.

What's the difference
Only the suns Rays make us different
We're all born the same way
And will all die one day
What does it matter
Who we love
In the end we're all judged from above
Be the best of who you can be
So in the end it's heaven what we see
Make diversity your goal
But strive for love to be bestowed
True goodness is our role
Put humanity in a better light
So equality is in sight.

To Virginia with Love
Your being first
Became a bitter sweet
Victory
Leaving a shamed keloid
On the face of history; and
Now each day’s a Nebuchadnezzar
Dawning; and in tomorrow’s tomorrow
You will overcome
Spawning peace, love and unity
In the oneness of your diversity.
N.B.: Forgiven but not forgotten,
I’m beginning to love you.

brother, visionary, world, prejudice,
Living within the confines of hate
Must be a lonely life
There's a fine line,
Cross over.
Love will open up a whole new world.
A world filled with diversity
A world of good feelings.
Opportunities to do things
You've never done before:
Like being free
Of prejudices and being out of control
Free to love and be loved.
For how can you love
Or be loved
When hate is the thing
Controlling you, eating you alive?
Keeping you from being the person
You can be, holding you down.
There's a fine line,
Cross over...

DON'T POLLUTE
Love natures amazing diversity.
Please believe pollution, understanding
It's deadly, possible fatalities!
Don't pollute, recycle infinitely
It's real, important, remembering.
That marine wildflowers' phytoplankton!
And algae respiring, restoration,
The planet's atmosphere recovering!
Sad, untrue, depletion, reality,
Trees' woodland, rainforests, decimated.
Yes unseen pollution, propagating!
Our future becoming impossible.

In most parties
I went to
Or in some public
Gathering
Around cafe shop
table
the most
top
and routine
questions
I have been subject to
And
I tried
Unsuccessfully
To digest
During these
Last five years
Is
“what is your name?”
“How do you pronounce it?”
“where do you come from?”
See,
They come
In a bundle
One pack
The same sequence
Same wave length
The same algorithm
I do know where people
Learned
The stuff
Was it in first grade?
Second?
Fifth grade?
May be
To deal with the country
needs to
An urgent
Diversity.

culture, friendship, humanity, life, love, nature, nice,
Rare as each blossom on a tree,
From Watusi tribe unto the Cherokee,
Each member of man's family,
Has their own unique biography.
Rare the nights of burgundy,
That prelude yellow dawn ecstasy!
Green are the fields so summery;
Pink the rose of fragrancy.
Silvery moon most satisfactory,
And stars winking at you and me.
Nature speaks not of equality;
Pale butterfly to grasshopper free.
Deep blue sky and frothing sea,
And colors of the nebulae.
A spectrum of hues, each in harmony,
Is how it was all meant to be.
Redbird red sings a rhapsody,
Pretty bluejay warbles his gaiety.
The sun shines on His Majesty,
As orchards respond fruitfully.
