Bullied
He was bullied day and night
Even though he was quite polite
He tried very hard to keep it with him
The bullying he received was grim,
But he took all of it on the chin
The taunting was relentless,
These people are the menace
Utterly merciless.
We need to celebrate,
Appreciate,
Everyone is unique.
It was the colour of his skin,
The made him feel grim.
But the he learnt to celebrate,
Appreciate
And his soul sung a joyful hymn.
Racism must stop.

We are delighted to publish the following poems by students at Kikaaya School, Uganda, to celebrate this week's theme of 'Diversity'.
People
all over the world
Are
from races far and near
Some
on mountains steep and high
Most
are welcoming
While
others are hostile
Altogether
we may refer to them as foreigners
In
our countries,
These
people may appear
Dark,white
or brown
The
colour may differentiate us
But
our blood is red
We
are one people with different colours
Having
them in our society
Is
surprising at first sight
But
they are like you and I
No
matter what language they speak
They
feel angry
They
get hungry
And
they need love too
Embracing
them is the right thing to do
For
they embrace our cultures
And
make us embrace our cultures more

Racial Diversity Racial Diversity
From
the East to the West
The
North to the South is racial segregation
The
blacks with the whites
The
rich and the poor
Blood
is shed, lives are lost
Let
us stop racial segregation
Racial
Diversity Racial Diversity
Let
us join hands together and stop racial segregation
Racial
Diversity brings unity, creates love
In
a world where the poor sit on a table with the rich
The
whites and the blacks
The
Catholics, Muslims and Anglicans together
In
a world full of peace and harmony.
Nambalirwa Maria, Form 4
Racial Diversity
The
greatest gift in the whole world.
It
brings joy to each and every one.
It
promotes love and brotherhood among individuals.
Development
and stability is brought about if it is in place.
It
encourages peace and togetherness among different races of people.
But
the worst enemy of all this is racial segregation
It
is a serpent which destroys all the later.
It
brings about wars in different countries.
It
causes death and misery to many
Let
us cut the cackle and fight racial segregation
Replace
hatred in our hearts with love and peace
So
that we can get to the top.
Mayanja Paul, Form 4
Racial Segregation
Racial segregation you are just a word.
But you have spread widely spread in the world.
Mainly brought by tribes
Which forces man to bribe
Not even thinking about the Bible
Which says man should love his neighbor as he
loves himself
All this leading to troubles.
Racial segregation you are very bad
Which needs man to evade
Though it is a bitter pill to swallow
But it must be swallowed
Don’t target arrows to your fellows
Rather make peace with them
To serve your country and make the world a better
place.
Kyanjo Patrick, Form 4
Racial Diversification !Racial Diversification!
Segregation, the
evil act
That confronts
the people hearts
The destroyer of
peaceful environments
War mongers among the people in the world
Way back in the
ancient times
Contributor of
massive deaths
And blood shade.
Call upon the
world,
Together as one
Develop the
sense of closeness
Towards
neighbours and the community
Distribute
respect to all kinds of people
As we share the
glory of diversification
Togetherness as
a change of the future generations.
Nakaye Edith, Form 6
One People
People from different continents
But one people
People from North and south
One people
Women and men
One people
Girls and Boys
One people
Tall and short
One people
Rich and poor
One people
Blacks and whites
One people
Moslems and Christians
One people
Batuusa Charles, Form 1
