    WHAT LIES BENEATH THE SKY?

    Between you and I,

    Exists every difference under the sun.

    Just like the night sky differs from that of day,

    We are not the same, in a number of ways,

    But we all still exist being bathed by the same rays.

    Through height, hair, or race,

    Through tone of voice and patterns of speech

    From the North to the South, the West to the East,

    Different skin, but still the same bright red blood flowing beneath.

    Take a cripple or a dyslexic lady,

    The way they’re viewed by society

    Versus the way it should be.

    Who are we to judge?

    Just because his body works differently?

    Just because she can’t tell her B’s from her D’s?

    Is it right to act superior,

    Yet this behavior is inferior?

    Are we more holy? More whole?

    Yet we’re all Under the same rays, every heart and every soul

    Why draw lines through language and skin?

    Through beliefs we hold deep within,

    Through culture and creed, what we know and believe?

    Forgetting how kindness should weave and relieve.

    Look at you and I,


    Between us, every difference exists,

    And yet we both are nothing without the sun,

    But every day, the discrimination persists,

    And like the moon, we exist in a world filled with darkness,

    We allow our differences to divide us;

    Height, culture, race and religion,

    Tone of voice and patterns of speech,

    What people’s bodies can or can’t do

    Becomes a topic which we actively seek,

    And use as a tool to torment and ridicule.

    What are we?

    Why is it that we can’t see?

    The solution is standing right before our eyes!

    It is not a hard thing to act wisely,

    And my words should not take you by surprise.

    SO we SAY, ACT IN HUMILITY

    WHILE YOU STILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY

    AND SUPPRESS YOUR INHUMANE ABILITY

    TO ENGAGE IN ABSOLUTE CRUELTY

    BE WHO YOU ARE WITHOUT HURTING YOUR COMMUNITY

    AND LET OTHERS BE,

    PRACTICE LIVING IN EQUITY,

    MAKE VITAL CHANGES TO YOUR MENTALITY.

    ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO ENGAGE THIS ACTIVITY,

    FOR THE GOOD OF ALL, WE MUST EMBRACE INCLUSIVITY.
