Nature has
dressed us up
in many
shades of skin
the variety
of tone we display
is the result
of melanin
if you hate
your neighbour
because of
their skin colour
you really
hate yourself
as we are all
versions of each other.
People
embrace religion
but still
they fuss and fight
many believe
in one God
so why on
earth don’t they unite
there are
many different faiths
we have lots
of beliefs
so lets
celebr8 our differences
instead of
crying out in grief
WE SHOULD
CELEBR8
NOT
DISCRIMIN8
LEARN TO
APPRECIATE
DON’T
PLAYER HATE

THERE’S ROOM FOR YOU
AND
THERE’S SPACE FOR ME

Battle of the sexes
the
competition is rigid and strong
women cry out
for equality
as men treat them
wrong
society
creates roles
for the
genders to define
I know we are
the yin and yang
but we could
be floating on cloud nine.
The elders in
our communities
they still
have a lot to give
you don’t
reach that golden age
by being
stupid
so lets
respect our elders
to lift their
spirits higher
as everyday we’re
getting older
like them one
day we’ll all retire.
WE SHOULD
CELEBR8
NOT
DISCRIMIN8
LEARN TO
APPRECIATE
DON’T
PLAYER HATE
BECAUSE
THERE’S ROOM FOR YOU
AND
THERE’S SPACE FOR ME

When it comes
to sexuality
there is true
diversity
now a days
sexual expression
is red hot
and spicy
some people
abstain
while others
are down right kinky
STRAIGHT,
GAY, A OR BISEXUAL
which is your
category?
Being Trans
is not about
sex or sexuality
the Trans of
this world
need to
define their own identity
Trans just
want the right
to a little
privacy
the right to
protection
in this
society
WE SHOULD
CELEBR8
NOT
DISCRIMIN8
LEARN TO
APPRECIATE
DON’T
PLAYER HATE
BECAUSE
THERE’S ROOM FOR YOU
AND
THERE’S SPACE FOR ME
LIVING IN
THIS WORLD OF DIVERSITY
LET’S

Now
disabilities they vary
society has a
long, long way to go
people exclude
disable people
as if they
are really slow
equal
opportunities are vital
for disabled
people to succeed
your
disability is not the problem
it’s the
world that doesn’t cater to your needs.
Refugees are
really suffering
Who really
knows their plight?
refugees are
fleeing persecution
in the middle
of the night
dressed in
desperation
where do they
go from here?
We all need
somewhere to live
Free to live
without living in fear.
WE SHOULD
CELEBR8
NOT
DISCRIMIN8
LEARN TO
APPRECIATE
DON’T
PLAYER HATE
BECAUSE
THERE’S ROOM FOR YOU
AND
THERE’S SPACE FOR ME
