Seek That Difference Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Seek more that difference.
And less the comfort of familiarity.
Explore the opportunity,
Available and yours.
To open up a door for expanded understanding.
With attempts made to comprehend,
A diversity existing with widened eyes to see...
What it means to notice,
How limitations can confine...
Anyone living life accepting,
False beliefs.
Yet claim to be among patriots.
Of a tapestry that has created,
The United States of America.
Although,
And hypocritically...
There seems many who wish,
A division presented that represents...
Who qualifies to reflect this unity.
And who is entitled to deny benefits...
As citizens to depict the image.
Without seeking that difference,
A greatness to obtain it...
Had been achieved with diversity.
Not to abandon but to keep it believed!
