Your poem is wonderful, one great thing to remember is we are all created equal in the eyes of God. Knowing that tells us that we are all important to this life here on earth. The colour of ones skin is of no importance, we must look past the colour and look to the person and accept them for who they are, not what colour they are. Multiculturalism is fabulous, we all have something to offer this world. Black, white, red, yellow, who cares, bring on the talent, show us what you've got, live, love and embrace one another. Enjoy the differences, fabulous poem Ayalew. I enjoyed reading it, thankyou so much for sharing.---Melvina---
