Difference

We were told that all man and women are created equal.
There is a difference between wealth and poor.
There is a difference between white and black.
Still, there are slavery in Africa, or Cuba, or Asia.
Children are driving from their home - that's called child labor
Adults were kidnapped and forced to work in hard labor - that's called labor slavery
Women are being trapped to force doing sex - that's called sex slavery
Where is the equality here among us on this earth?
The whites are on the top of the social pyramids,
and all of others has to look them like that.
We are being determined who we are by races, by the color of our skin
If you are black then you must be a criminal;
If you are Asian then you must be the one taking away our jobs;
If you are whites then you must be wealth and full of knowledge.
We as human shouldn’t be judged by the color of our skin,
We can’t be judge by what kind of chromosomes we have.
Our chances and success are being taken away or blocked by the color of our skin,
Our success always being blocked by the invisible ceiling above our head.
And all of us, all of us had try really really really hard to our goal
But the color of our skin stopped us from doing it.
Our goal, our dream, our life were drowned in the deep ocean of color.
Why can’t we human on the earth,
Treat each other with no difference,
The color of your skin does not determine who you are,
The color of your skin shouldn't be the obstacle in your life.

The color of your skin does not make your life.

  3. I loved this poem. I really love all of the descriptions and specific examples of all of these problems around the world. After I finished reading, I was forced to take a moment and reflect on what was really go on around the world. I really love that last line as well, as it is very powerful.
