Overcoming

What is discrimination Someone from a different nation Or a different station Or a different relation Who instead of celebrating for how they are diverse We raise up a barrier of differences to rehearse Why not instead Of getting mad and red Celebrate how they shore up our lack And do many things with great knack For we all need each other Working together as sister and brother To overcome obstacles in front of us And build trust So next time someone gives you the cold shoulder Don't go hide behind the nearest boulder Or say something you will regret when you are older Storing up all the hurt in a mental folder Choose to be like so many great women and men Who refused to be discouraged and tried again Because there will always be those From whom unkindness flows But it is your choice to accept all that noise Or to choose to listen to a different voice The voice that is true Speaking identity to you That no matter what they say or do There is someone out there that’s special and that’s you
