The Beauty of Diversity. What would it be like to walk down the street and have everybody look like you? What would it be like to go to a dairy and only see vanilla flavours? What would it be like to look at a meadow and see only one type of flower? What would it be like ...

Imagine if we were all the same

Imagine everything being the same.

Imagine everyone thinking the same, everyone saying the same things, everyone having the same careers, having the same looks and the same brains.
Imagine everyone wearing the same clothes and everyone eating the same food, everyone running out of the food that they eat because there is none left.
Imagine everyone having one school, one teacher, one mind.
Imagine having one big line at the supermarket, one flavour of ice-cream that everyone hates.
Imagine everyone having one name.
Imagine everyone dying at the same time, the human population being extinct, well, we wouldn't be human, we would be robots or clones.
Imagine everyone being the same.

Giraffes have long necks
Rhinos have horns
Birds have wings
Elephants have trunks
Sloths have strong arms
Ducks have webbed feet

But they all go under the same name "animals" even though they are diverse. 

E.

Strength lies in
differences, not in
similarities.

This poem, written by an African child was nominated for the best poem in 2005

Colour
When I born, I black;
When I grow up, I black;
When I go in sun, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black;
And Ü white fellows;
When U born, U pink;
When U grow up, U white;
When U go in sun, U red;
When U cold, U blue;
When U scared, U yellow;
When U sick, U green;
When U die, U grey;
And U call me coloured.

Diversity poem

Diversity is like friends 
With them we all laugh, and smile, but without them we are lost.
Diversity is like family
With it, we are friends, we are happy, without it we are nothing inside.
Diversity is like stars.
With them, you imagine, you dream, without them you are limited.
Diversity is like hugs.
With them you feel warm inside, and comfortable, without them you are empty.
Diversity is like the sun.
With it the world lights up, and glows, without it, we all live in the dark.
