Inclusive Poem Quotes

“Every Culture is My Culture (The Sonnet)

If America fails in advancement, so will the world,
If South America fails in liberty, so will the world.
If Mexico fails in passion, so will the world,
If India fails in diversity, so will the world.
Every atom of planet earth is teeming with potential,
Yet most see nothing beyond the rim of their culture.
Culture is peddled in the world as a sectarian prison,
Yet the fact is, culture integrated is culture empowered.
Every culture belongs in every heart, every heart that is human,
While stoneage notions of culture still dominate the animal.
Simply put, till all cultures are ours, no culture is ours,
Any culture that claims supremacy belongs on a surgeon's table.
If humanity fails to embrace the strength of each culture,
There will be no humanity, there will be no culture.”
