What's with the world these days!?
These days it seems like the world has gone mad. The things that have been happening the last couple of years are completely crazy and absolutely ridiculous; particularly from late 2015 to today.
You have already seen this poem before, but with all the chaos that has been going on lately I thought it would be appropriate to share it again, this is one of many peoples favourite poems of mine and I thought this is the perfect time to repost it! Enjoy!

Who We Are: We are One (2nd version)
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.

Happy Canada Day 2016!
Happy Canada Day everyone!
This year our great country turns 149. Last year when we turned 148, our flag celebrated it's 50th anniversary. Next year is the big one, when Canada will turn 150! No doubt a lot of very exciting things will be happening to celebrate in 2017.
We will be getting a special commemorative bank note, and I am almost certain we will be getting special commemorative coins and stamps; I can't wait to see what they all look like.
And as I mentioned last year, there will be a special poem coming on Canada Day 2017, to celebrate and commemorate Canada 150. We are now exactly just one year away, and I can't wait to share my new Canada 150 poem with you!
Hope everyone has a safe and happy Canada day long weekend!
