a single mom with nowhere to go,
a little boy looking for home.
a teenage druggie who followed the
wrong path,
a middle school girl facing her
drunk father’s wrath.
a woman who chose to run from abuse,
another who judges her for her excuse.

red or yellow, black or white,
in whose eyes are we
a precious sight?

diversity means to set down the gun
-of malice, of judging, of hate on the run-
diversity means these stereotypes are done
diversity
means
everyone.
