I just don't understand why we discriminate each other.....in the end, we are all people:)
All some other uniform color
By which we would not be different:
Then there would be no white, no black, no colored
And we would not have to judge each other by how we look.
Surely, a package merely contains something inside!
What is inside cannot be judged by the package itself.
Same goes with the story of the ugly duckling.....
The egg may be ugly but inside a beautiful bird is in form.
What if there were no tribes
Then we would not judge each other by our cultures.
We would not laugh at the other's accent,
Or notice the funny or gross things that they eat.
We would not have to say that all red Indians anger easily
Or that all blacks are evil as the soot in hell
Or that the Jews are holier than thou....
I wanted to write this piece
And let you know
That people are not their color, their tribe or their race.
For every Caucasian, every Asian, every Jew, every African
There is a Tom, a Mary, a Jack, a Steve, a Stewart
Every group has people
Who are unique by their own nature-
An interaction of genes from different people
Each with their own character,
To form another more unique human being-
It is a mystery that we use our diversity for our own folly,
So that we do not call each other by what we are
But by whom we are.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall
Suppose we were all blue,All some other uniform color
By which we would not be different:
Then there would be no white, no black, no colored
And we would not have to judge each other by how we look.

What is inside cannot be judged by the package itself.
