You claim I am flawed
You say I do not belong
My colour different
My body too big
I am attracted to same-sex
I love all genders!
Pause, look, think
Is beauty only uniform?
In different packages it comes
In more ways than one I am capable
My beauty is not just in my abilities
My strength is not just in my looks
My body is beauty in another shape
My skin colour a testimony to creativity
The glow of Love is genderless
When we shut the eye of hate
Ignore the voice of ignorance
We will clearly see the
Nooks and crannies of beauty
And forever appreciate
Beauty in all its diversity.

As always another beautiful poem.
Have wonderful day.
Beautiful, Yemmy.
The use of a panda image is a little ironic, as that species is slowly becoming extinct. The companion of diversity is change, and the phantom of change is extinction.
Thanks everyone 🙂
@Meggamat- Nice unintended irony but i chose the panda for the non racist, diversity slogan associated with it i.e. ‘ I am white, black and Asian”.
