Poetry Anthology about culture, diversity, identy and more

Craft paper border

But… In all&nbsp;generations, At all&nbsp;times, And, all around the world… Some people fight against this rejection. But why? Because our differences are a wealth! These people are open-minded and curious! Differences allow us to discover a new culture! Differences allow us to learn a new language! Differences allow us to be in peace! I have a dream… The dream that people accept and respect differences. The dream that all people consider differences like a wealth. And, I hope that the pieces will come together, To form a beautiful vase.

Christmas White, calm Decorating, singing, eating For the whole world Holiday

In this world there is racism only because we don’t have the same skin colour We are not obviously like them : We Are Not A Copy In this world, there is judgment only because we are from another culture We have other origins but that’s obvious : On Earth There Is Diversity Don’t put the blame on me. They say we aren’t true ones because we have an accent&nbsp; According to them "We don’t talk right" They say they know me just by the way I dress Guessing a personality is not that easy Don’t put the blame on me. They say I’m different but&nbsp; I say differences are what make us human.

Read by Théophile, France

Why do we have to be said different ? Why are we black, white or yellow ? Why do they reject me ? Why don’t they see what they do? Why is white « normal » ? I feel so good in my skin,&nbsp; and I am not a racist,&nbsp; I just want to make you see We are all unique,&nbsp; &nbsp;because we’re all&nbsp; &nbsp;beautiful !!!

Diversity cultural, substantial exists, makes, strengthens humans, nations, values, societies decreases, occurs, seems uninteresting, rare Similarity

by YIANNIS SOUBAKIS, Greece

Like a vase shatters into many pieces, Our world, is today divided… No, it has always been the case… This vase has never been a whole. But why? Because of our difference. The difference of our skin color, racism, The difference between our genders, sexism, The difference of our origins, The difference of our religions And this list is endless… In all generations, At all&nbsp;times, And, all around the world… Some people reject and some people are rejected.

Cultures Different, colourful Travelling, studying, discovering Make people different, beautiful Colours

They say I’m different I was born in a girl’s body but I feel like a boy ; I was born in a boy’s body and they say : « you can’t wear a skirt » ; I was born a Mulsim but I feel of all religions ; I was born a Mulsim and they say « return to your country » ; I was born with one leg only&nbsp;but it doesn’t stop me from doing the Olympics ; I was born with only one leg and they say « you will not pass the finish line »; I was born of black color but I am all skin colours ; I was born of black color and they say that I’m different ; I was born like this With my own culture, my own skin colour, my own religion, my own love gender, my own handicap, my own origins, And I say : « I’m a human like you ». Ultimately, with all our differences, we are only one.&nbsp;

Rainbow paper border

Cinquains, diamante, haikus, slam-like and more free-form poems about culture, diversity, identity and more.

Culture Interesting, peculiar Fighting, dancing, existing Everyone having different traditions Civilization

Racism, I fight it with my rhymes, Intimidation, insults, or hate crimes. Dividing us is their single one goal Let’s, in winter like in summer, make them fall ! Different colors but we’re one like a rainbow. But fight peacefully, use your ideas as a bow, We’re like the turtle, We’ll win, But it’ll be slow.

by &nbsp;&nbsp;Nora, Laura and Sol, Spain

In the darkness of this place, suddenly fear came. You're not safe in there&nbsp; Something is staring at your face The&nbsp;light switching on makes you blind. The light switching off makes you&nbsp;fall, or did you trip over your own foot? &nbsp;You turn on the light again. &nbsp;What was that ??? Your reflection has escaped from the mirror . You ask “ why would you be so cruel to yourself?”

Racism social, problematic increasing, destroying,subjugating feeling like a fish out of water Discrimination

“A bee stings you Whether you are black, white or yellow It will sting you still”

Feminism is for everyone on this planet, Being a feminist is not for being greater than men, Feminism isn’t just « MeToo » on the net Or a fight which takes girls out of the kitchen. If someone could explain to me&nbsp; why my pay is less than my brother’s ?&nbsp; If someone could explain to me&nbsp; why my skirt has to be longer ? My fight is due to the world’s unfairness And all women should tell their narrations But if i have to write them on a surface The Great Wall of China would’nt be sufficient.

To be different means not to be like others But just imagine&nbsp; if all of the world looked the same,&nbsp; everyone was the same,&nbsp; don’t you think that would be boring?&nbsp; So just be yourself, even if it can be complicated at times.

Once alive now dead, our ancestors created them. It's our duty to preserve them and our privilege to have them. They come in many forms some are traditions, others not. From all the countries they are different but still quite alike. To show us history to show us old ways Of our fathers older days. But through many years we have evolved and new traditions we have involved in our culture as before.
