Part 1

I was told that variety
is the spice of life,
is it still true?
Or has it been replaced
with strife?

Oh how we admire the beauty
of colorful butterflies,
but despise people because
of their skin colour.

You told me how you love
a meal made with a mix of spice,
but have you hated a fellow
because he comes from
the land of ice?

Oh how we enjoy the scent
of different flowers,
but sigh over variety in culture.

You admire the chatter of birds,
but have you despised a man
bcause he has a different
way of saying words?

Now hear me out oh you
who have knowledge.
People are people.
Color is just a paint,
Culture is just how we live,
Language is just how we express,
But who I am is in the heart.

If you can see how many
things we have in common,
then you'll understand that
people are people.
