ONENESS IN THE WORLD
I am for unity and
oneness in the world
I am against
division all because of one’s race, color, skin, gender, nationality, and
ideologies
In a world full of
discrimination everywhere we lay our eyes on,
Disparity among
mankind is but an ugly depiction of a changing world.
Despite one’s
color, one must be embraced and accepted among a flock of different souls
You and I are
brothers and sisters even if we are born in far different continents
For we belong to
one definite Oneness in the Universe,
You and I came
from the same old origin of life.
Oneness in the
world, will this just be merely a dream?
The choice is ours
to take if we agree to respect and embrace each other despite our many
differences
Oneness in the
world, will you be joining my advocacy of promoting unity among nations?
Oneness in the
world is what the world needs now, the choice is ours somehow.

COLOR IS JUST ON THE
SURFACE
You and the others
come from different places
Born from
different parents, originated from different ancestors
Your color is
different from them
But it doesn’t
mean you are inferior and they are far more superior than you are.
What is the color
of the skin but a mere mix of hues on the surface?
It doesn’t matter
if you are black and you get to mix among a flock of whites
God created each
one of us uniquely and that we are all equal in his eyes
Man is just the
one who builds walls against each other, an ugly truth.
Color is merely on
the surface and one’s character is still the best gauge
What kind of
person you are which is goes deeper
Color is but a
sign of division discriminating something or someone
Who possess an odd
skin tone far different from the stereotypical they get to know.

MY WORLD IN UNITY
I dream of a world
without all kinds of discrimination
Where we are free
to be ourselves and leave behind the mask we used to wear
To live freely
without worrying that we will not be accepted to some place
Because we look weird
and think differently than the others.
The perfect world
I dream of is a world in unity
Where every person
is entitled to live the life he desires to have
Without fear of
being ridiculed, being left out, or being insulted because of his skin
Yes, a world
devoid of chaos but is just overflowing with love for one another.
My world in unity
can be achieved and will not just be a far-fetched dream
If we all agree to
look way past physical appearances, and other barriers
Which keeps us
apart from our other brothers and sisters
A world in unity
is what we all need now.
