This is my take :

It s a fact that diversity is creativity .. thinking all alike is like stagnant water ..

different mean input....a flow of new ideas

... it s like water in a stream on the move ..it takes you places ..

The lesson we must learn : not to fear diversity .. not to hate what s different ..

most wars are caused by fear of not knowing the opponent ..

We need to change our frame of mind .. way of thinking



I received this review from Rhonnie .. I think He brought more insight to my poem

CIAO POET: This poem is a brilliant account of diversity. Yes...it is diversity that creates similarity, from which comes diversity. Human life originated from one 360 degree straight line which creates a circle. Yes. Like a water stream that moves It takes us places. Where? It takes us back to from which it came, but never stops moving. This phenomenon can be describes as, "infinity," COMPARE: Genesis chapter #2 and at verses # 21 through chapter # 24. THUS:

(21) And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in it's place.

(22) Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought the woman to the man.

(23) And Adam said: "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman because she was taken out of man. >>>(diversity.)

(24) Therefore...a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become, "One Flesh." >>>(similarity.)

So then...the more different we are...the more similar we are. Girl and Boy. Ooooooo! Love and Joy. God bless you, poet. Cordially: rhonnie69.
