I’m not alien,
I’m just different.
Don’t you hear nature’s comment?
“Variety is complement”.

I might have different tongue.
It doesn’t mean I am dung.
Like you, I’ve a life.
Live let’s live.

Like the rose and the bee,
We can together be.
The tongue and the teeth fight,
Yet their difference they put to flight.

Observe the beauty of the rainbow:
Different colours adding style to the bow.
Like them, we can live and work;
Together, building a better world.

But you! You keep calling me names,
And on that wants me maimed.
Can’t you see?
I’m not alien, I’m just different.
