I’m just different.<br>
Don’t you hear nature’s comment?<br>
“Variety is complement”.
<p>I might have different tongue.<br>
It doesn’t mean I am dung.<br>
Like you, I’ve a life.<br>
Live let’s live.</p>
<p>Like the rose and the bee,<br>
We can together be.<br>
The tongue and the teeth fight,<br>
Yet their difference they put to flight.</p>
<p>Observe the beauty of the rainbow:<br>
Different colours adding style to the bow.<br>
Like them, we can live and work;<br>
Together, building a better world.</p>
<p>But you! You keep calling me names,<br>
And on that wants me maimed.<br>
Can’t you see?<br>
I’m not alien, I’m just different.</p>
