Diversity?
(Diversity is the condition of having many different elements.)

But, our World does not have that
It’s either the left or right
The haves and have-nots
The weak, those with all the might.

We still have brother killing brother
Because, we want it all our way
We will never stop to listen to
What, others might think or say.

I read a piece about the “natives”
But, from any other given place
We all came here from, Africa
DNA shows, we all have that trace.

We all think we are different
“We’re not, like that other one!”
Though, we really are the same
When, all is said, and done.

We all try to tell ourselves
That, we’re something, we’re not
But, all it all comes down to
Is that, we want what, “they’ve” got!

Hate, and, Greed, and, selfishness
Is our, diversity, at its worst
And that’s why, the human race
Will, for all time, be cursed!
