Let Me Tell You This...

Let me tell you this,
We are all equal,
Let me tell you this,
whether male or female,
black or white,
We all deserve an opportunity,
We all deserve a chance.
Let me tell you this,
You can’t start judging others,
about their looks
You can’t start separating
the girls and the boys
Let me tell you this,
It is unfair to give the opportunity to learn only to the boys
When you know a girl too, can be smart
Let me tell you this,
You can’t start a war from your own temper
to bring down another nation and make it your territory
Let me tell you this,
You cannot just destroy a home
which didn’t belong to you in the first place.
Let me tell you this,
You’ve just got to share what's necessary in life,
Whether Rich or poor

I’ve learned that it is us beings who started this racism, war, slavery,etc.
And I’ve come to think that we just might be more dangerous than any other dangerous species we all know.
To change that, we must start changing ourselves, for the better.
Let me tell you this… Let’s change the world together, because together, WE CAN!

Hi Ella,
Did you write this? It's is absolutely amazing! It taught me lots of things and that you really care about the problem(s). It made me think about a lot and that we all should care more.

Dear Ella,
I think this poem is a really good teaching lesson for everyone. It shows that everyone should be treated equally no matter what race or gender you are. I also think it sets a great example for people to learn about war and how we can stop it. Great post!

Dear Ella,
I think you touched an important message here and I think what you wrote here was beautiful and meaningful. We all deserve a chance either male or female and no matter the race. I enjoyed reading this and it's so good that you care so much about the world around us and it's problems.

Hi Ella,

It seems you know what our world needs, and that is great, really. However, when I look around myself I just always ask how a real change can made. Everybody tries to go the easiest path for them, ignoring what that means to others or even to theirselves in future. If there only were ways of motivating people to care, other than having them act by fear when it's already too late.

I agree with you Sophie, people do that. In order to make life easier for them they choose the path that is the easiest. It is their choice actually. I mean, we are all human, we make the choices.
