A Person is a Person

jonas_marie

A Person is a Person
a person is a person no matter their size
whether they are small, petite or eight feet high
a person is a person no matter their color
black, white, or grey everyone came from the womb of a mother

 a person is a person no matter their orgin
there is no difference concerning the place they were born in
a person is a person, all with a beating heart,
two eyes, ears, nose, mouth, each body a work of art
a person is a person, no matter their job
or their car, home, or even their dog.

people look different, that is a fact
but get passed the stereotypes, open your heart just a crack.
see that a person is a person no matter what you see,
but the only things that matter are what’s hiding underneath,
under the makeup, the fronts, or what is advertised,
under the fear of being different in someone else’s eyes,

if everyone’s heart opened just that little crack,
we can all understand that a person is a person,
that is the fact.

    WELCOME MARIE ~ Thanks for your first poem ~ beautifully penned and with an equally beautifully message. We are all born with equal POTENTIAL because we are all HUMAN ! Alas because of inequality on Planet Earth (and Man's inhumanity to Man) some die in childhood (because of malnutrition and disease) some live in Slavery (even in the 21st C) and some fail to achieve their potential because of the "colour of the skin or their ethnicity" or the Regime they were born in. Alas ~ because of legal & illegal ABORTION ~ millions each year ~ never get "born" at all ~ they are also HUMAN from the moment of their conception ! What can an INDIVIDUAL do ? Your PASSIONATE POEM gives us ALL the ANSWER ! Never be Prejudiced ~ Never be racist or religiously intolerant ~ never judge a person by their IQ or lack of education ~ All Humans are GIFTED ~ if you are in education (as I am) it is our responsibility to find the GIFT and nurture it ! In GOD'S sight every PERSON is EQUAL and PRECIOUS ~ let us learn to see every living PERSON (especially the UNBORN) through GOD'S EYES and not our own prejudices or belief system ~ AMEN Thanks for caring and sharing ~ Yours BRIAN (UK)
