A poem about the author's experience of injustice in the workplace
That's What Difference Is All About

What make's us different from those who declared to be different?
Is my color fainter than what they dictated it to be?
Or was it the little voice of resistance that glares and deafen them?
But maybe then, it might be that my existence threatened the domain they claimed as theirs?

I could only wish that the difference they claimed to imbibed,
Grows from the deepest recess of nurturing what's good for everyone
And not from the foul-smelling-self-nurturing may I?
Who would say not I nor never will I?

Let them see for themselves the answers to what they have done,
They know better than the naive one they called me once.
If to be different in this life is to trample on someone,
Forgive me then, let me be what I am.
