Who We Are: We Are One - poem

This is another one that many of you love, so in light of current event I thought this one deserved a re-post as well. Enjoy!


Who We Are: We are One 
By: Vickram Bachan
 
The colour of our skin is clear to us, it is in black and white,
We are all humans, so why all the spite?

We need to be proud of ourselves and one another,
Our skin is like a suit that displays personality and character.

We are who we are for very special reasons,
We are the way we are and this is what we are given.

We are meant to be the way we are,
Each of us a sparkling, watery star.

Together, the human race makes a vibrant rainbow,
And when looked at from the heavens, we shine and glow.

Without peace that rainbow dies with silent woes,
For what racism does, I hope everybody knows.

We criticize the outside, seeing white, black, yellow, brown and more,
And we judge without understanding what lies beneath the pores.

Everyone's blood is red, the colour of life and death,
Though our true inner colours haven't been discovered yet.
