THE MELTING POT
We live in the midst of diversity,
Molded and cast into one big pot.
All shades blended,
Black, white, red, brown and yellow.
It is our fate, our destiny.
The differences we must face...
As we run this race of life,
Are insurmountable.
Nevertheless,
We must merge the bonds of peace.
Can we survive?
We must!
For there are no exits!
Can you not see?
We are in a melting pot.
The fire has been tamed
Nevertheless, the flicker is still a flame.
The embers continue to smolder,
Sometimes like ticking time bombs.
Our hearts often cry out in silence,
We must admonish our hearts
To accept our fate.
Be still my heart,
For, as you well know...
We are in a Melting Pot.
