    Poem Commentary

    Another satire just in time for MLK jr. Day. I mean, seriously, when will the world realize that if we were all one color, we'd be the most boring species of creatures on Earth. 'There's a target to our tint, a scheme to our shades. If we don't embrace it and enjoy it, then we'll never be the same.' -That totally should've been in the poem... DRAT!!!

    Spot the Difference

    One of these things is not like the other,
    One of these things just isn't the same,
    When you spot any difference in one of your brothers,
    The best thing to do is just shout out it's name,


    If you know somebody who has a slightly different face
    Then it's obvious to us that they are out of they're place
    They've got freckles, they've got pimples,
    they've got warts or they've got zits
    Then you should condemn them for their troubles,
    their as weird as it gets,

    If you notice someone different,
    who has slightly different skin,
    Then rebuke them, it doesn't suit them
    It just doesn't fit the trend.

    There's no way we can get together,
    for you're skin is slightly burnt,
    We're much smarter, it's not part of
    any thing that we have learn't.


    Of all the things that we should know,
    of shades of light and dark,
    We should notice, this whole time
    What only matters is the heart

    Great message... and interesting way of relaying it. I see why your name is GeniusMan... you manage to find the cleverest ways of getting your messages across, which makes for very enjoyable reading. Keep it up!

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
