The Beauty of Our Race | Poetry

Written by Meghna Sridhar

Racism 

A stream of hatred that runs through society:

our words of criticism can spread hate against variety.

Every person is unique,

each artifact an antique.

People should understand

that our cultures are our brands.

What's the problem with being different?

Whether we come from here or come from afar,

our homeland is part of us, it's who we are.

Each dance and each song,

have rhythms so strong-

All different yet the same,

our beats can't be tamed

Our differences make us beautiful
