"I Don't See" (EDUC 6357)


“I Don’t See”

I don’t see color.

I don’t see you, I don’t see me.

I see us. I see people who are special and unique.

People that are brown, peach, dark, and even red.

I see us being able to walk together and play together hand-in-hand.

I don’t see color.

I don’t see you, I don’t see me.

I see kids playing of different races.

Colleagues that are men and women talking from various ages.

I see us. I see people who are special and unique.

I don’t see color.

I don’t see you, I don’t see me.

I see those who are able and those who are not.

I see those who are at the bottom and those who are on top.

Most importantly I see respect among those that can and cannot.

I don’t see color.

I don’t see you, I don’t see me.

I see us. I see people who are special and unique.

    l like your poem. It displays many different aspects that we try to teach in the classroom as anti bias advocates. I think you put some great thought and emphasis.

  2. Kayla,
    I think this is a great poem! This is what we should work towards when we think of diversity!
