Acceptance is a way of coming together
Changing the world now and forever
Coming together to make a happy place
Eventually everyone will have a smile on their face
People won’t be judged on what they wear, because
That we know is just not fair.
All of us should be treated the same
No matter what colour, shape, or name
Come on all you people
Everyone is equal!

Dina says: “The reason why I wrote this poem is because I believe we are all so different but we must remember not to judge other people because of that.”
