The beauty of this world sleeps in the description of the word different,
the fact that no one is alike is meant to push us to further heights,
as we strive for excellence under the umbrella of competition without malice,
but some of us never got that note,
missed that message, misinterpreted its essence and turned it into this wicked line of division,
where different means not the same as us, where US sits at a higher plateau where these other people could never go,
because they aren’t like US ,
or you might get lost in a stream of thinking where your sense of being allows you to step away from the moral law of humanity,
the principles of decency, all in an effort to protect a culture which has its roots in evil,
but it creates a hole in your soul no amount of power could fill, your fight isn’t in protecting what makes us different,
that fight is trying to keep us different and many confuse that as a righteous cause, but do we not all stand on the same ground,
kiss the same sky,
hug the same sun,
embraced by the same rain,
there will always be a difference in our pain, but its pain nonetheless.
I can’t say its time for a change, because that clock long since ran out,
but that elusive sense of being was forever in route, and now is finally within range,
No one is forcing you to adapt to the times, we are asking for all of us to better, no need to break down all the walls,
just put doors in them for us to walk through, move the line back a few steps at a time,
and slowly every so slowly we can start leaving our past behind, find a future the next generation can build on,
with a clear map of where we went wrong, stand strong on our shoulders,
as they reach for stars impossible for us to even conceive,
all we ask is for a world where the elders can feel at peace when the young leave,
as each era closes and passes the baton Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, will and should be its only conclusion,
Vino
