STRENGTH
Ah, it does offend you
that I celebrate my grays,
refuse to malign
people
or demonstrate
unpleasant ways?
Ah, and it offends you
that I seem to take
a stand,
with my silence
as you whisper,
"Did you hear...?"
throughout the land.
And you are also upset
that I don't compare
myself,
but celebrate
your "you nique" or
would even try to
help?
Please - don't be offended.
Everyone has their
own gift.
Strengths
that lend themselves
to culture,
fostering
unity, not rifts.
You have value,
I have value.
Can we all just
get along?
Together we
are a unit,
fiercely relevant
and strong.
