Enlightening Diversity Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

All of us are social beings, needing one another's
companionship whether we want to admit it or not.

Going places, visiting, talking, being able to
express our feelings, ideas and thoughts to each
other.

Following certain protocols to keep all things
civil, daring to agree to disagree at times.

Beauty of a democracy, where we can all live to-
gether, have our own opinions, discuss them and
still be friends and agreeable.

Enlightening each other with our backgrounds and
cultures, all of us learning that diversity isn't
always bad.

It adds to our lives considerably throughout the
years, never letting us give up the struggle for
peace in this world for generations to come.
