In God's Eyes by Monica
I don't understand why they treat us this way,
We are not that different, inside were all the same,
We should not be judged by our religion or the color of our face,
Because in the end, we're all running this same race,
I wake up each day and I want to run away,
Away from this world of cruelty and shame,
And I think of the joy that our world could have,
If we all stop this madness and never forget that in God's eyes,
we are all the Same.
We are not that different, inside were all the same,
We should not be judged by our religion or the color of our face,
Because in the end, we're all running this same race,
I wake up each day and I want to run away,
Away from this world of cruelty and shame,
And I think of the joy that our world could have,
If we all stop this madness and never forget that in God's eyes,
we are all the Same.

My poem may not be about me, because I am white and catholic and, after all, only thirteen.
But after I saw a movie where blacks and Jewish people were being discriminated against badly, I wanted to write about how I would feel if I were facing that kind of discrimination.

PLEASE, keep writing. Don't let any mishaps detour what God has placed inside of your heart. I am from New Orleans, and lost all of my poetry in the storm. You have been a great encouragement. Thank you, and God's blessing as you continue to do his will. - Nikkisha |

I think this is very inspiring! If a thirteen year old girl can understand that diversity is wrong more than a thirty year old man that I know can, then this only means one thing. The views toward diversity are changing for the better. I just wish more people were as accepting as you! - Krisandra |

wow. thats all i have to say. this poem hit me hard. i am asian and a christian, and from time to time, people would pick on asians becuz they think that we wont do anything. like fight for our rights, and most asains wont becuz we are too scared to have a voice. - adrienne |

This really touched my heart because I am a transgendered woman and our society in this world, is just so biased and prejudiced against those people who are very different than they are, like gay's and transgendered people. For we are who we are in this world and on this planet. For we all have the very same Faith in God above and worship our Lord on sunday, and yet most Churches will kick us out the front doors for being who we are in society and treat us like trash and not a human being. And we live in a racist environment and society and are treated very badly. Jessica - Jessica |
