Differences Poem by Cassandra Jasmine

Differences

Rating: 4.9


I am Asian,
You are African.
I am American,
You are Caucasian.

However, why should we
Judge one another by their nationality,
Their gender, their religion?
My answer is, because we are different.

Why should we treat each other unfairly?
Why is it, that one is biased?
Have you not thought of someone else?
The answer is no; because we are different.

We are all different,
Yet we are all unique.
However, when we accept each other,
This world would be a better place.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
There is much prejudice around us, and we continually judge each other by what they are, not WHO they are. I believe that there is a lot less nowadays than before, but we still have space to improve.

We are all different, Yet we are all unique. However, when we accept each other, This world would be a better place. No doubt! Any bias is bad, Nationalism is bad. Parochialism is bad. Humanism is good. Gender equality is good. Universal fraternity is good.

i agree more with your poet note than with your poem. maybe you really didn't mean to write one or two things i read in the poem e.g.: However, why should we Judge one another by their nationality, Their gender, their religion? My answer is, because we are different. did you really mean THAT? well, in some way(s) perhaps it IS proper that we should judge someone based on their differences. i wonder if i'm making myself clear. IF we are all different, THEN of course we are all unique, so why Yet? just wondering here. thanks for sharing. :)

Your poem shows you to be a very insightful and thinking person. You expressed your feelings well by asking the reader questions that went straight to the heart. Yes, we are all unique, and the world would be a better place if there were more people like you Cassandra!
